Summary Several corn and alfalfa varieties were subjected to varying levels of water deficits under field conditions over a two-year period at the Utah State University Evans farm at Logan, Utah. Dry matter yields of corn and alfalfa varieties showed a linear relationship to evapotranspiration (E t . In most cases grain yields also showed a linear response to E t . When relative yields of dry matter and grain of corn varieties were related to relative E t it was found that the slopes of the linear regression lines changed more between the two years than between the varieties within a given year. It was found that yields predicted by Hanks' (1974) model were highly correlated with measured yields for both corn and alfalfa.
