Responses of dry edible bean crop growth and water productivities under different irrigation scenarios in the U.S. high plains by Angie Gradiz, Xin Qiao, Saleh Taghvaeian, Wei-zhen Liang, Daran Rudnick, Abia Katimbo, Jun Wang, Swathi Palle

“…This three-year (2021–2023) study investigated the impacts of irrigation treatments, ranging from rainfed to over-irrigated conditions, on soil water dynamics, canopy cover, leaf area index, yield, actual evapotranspiration, and water productivities for dry edible beans grown in western Nebraska, U.S. Although dry beans are often considered a shallow-rooted crop, our results demonstrated their ability to adapt to drought stress by extracting soil water from significantly deeper depths than previously expected. …”
