[AgriLife] Ogallala Aquifer Project dataset

The data set provides the physiology, growth and development (<b>oap_time_pub</b>), biomass (<b>oap_bio_pub</b>), pathology (<b>oap_tswv_pub</b>), and water use data (<b>oap_irg_pub</b> and <b>oap_met_pub</b>) of three field-grown horticultural crops; sweet corn (<i>Zea mays </i>convar. <i>saccharata</i> var. <i>rugosa</i>), chilli pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum</i>), and tomato (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>). The experiment was plotted on bare ground open field beds (Ctrl) and plastic mulched beds (Mch) to examine the effects of plastic mulch in reduction of water use in a semi-arid, windy climate of the state of Texas, United States. Water use was evaluated by the standard FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method using neutron probe measurements of the soil water layers. Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) for pepper and tomato was scouted on site and also evaluated in vivo using real-time PCR.

本数据集涵盖三种田间种植园艺作物的生理、生长发育（<b>oap_time_pub</b>）、生物量（<b>oap_bio_pub</b>）、病害（<b>oap_tswv_pub</b>）与水分利用数据（<b>oap_irg_pub</b>、<b>oap_met_pub</b>），供试作物分别为甜玉米（<i>Zea mays</i> convar. <i>saccharata</i> var. <i>rugosa</i>）、辣椒（<i>Capsicum annuum</i>）及番茄（<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>）。本实验设置裸地露地栽培床（对照组，Ctrl）与地膜覆盖栽培床（覆膜组，Mch）两个处理，在美国德克萨斯州半干旱多风的气候条件下，探究地膜覆盖对水分消耗的削减效应。水分利用情况通过标准FAO-56彭曼-蒙特斯（FAO-56 Penman-Monteith）方法，结合中子探针对土壤土层的含水量测定结果进行评估。针对辣椒与番茄的番茄斑萎病毒（TSWV），本研究开展了田间实地监测，并通过实时荧光定量PCR（real-time PCR）进行活体检测。
