• Local Research: Deficit Irrigation of Runner Peanut in the Texas Southern High Plains: Five Years of Research. This web-based slide show is based on an oral presentation presented in 2000 at the American Peanut Research and Education Society.

We are also pleased to include a summary article of the presentation in HTML and PDF formats.
