Extract

1. Observations made on growing a series of crops in rotation over a range of static ground water-levels in a Fen peat soil are recorded.

2. The crops used show differences in their reaction to ground water conditions, and the seasonal incidence of rain has an overriding influence on their performance.

3. The effects of ground water-level may operate directly on the growth and development of a crop or may influence it indirectly through factors such as weed infestation, difficulties of cultivation, or the incidence of disease.
