Fig. 1 Causal relationships of the path-coefficient analysis for birdsfoot trefoil seed production; six irrigation treatments were used. Doubled-arrowed lines indicate mutual associations that are measured by correlation coefficients (rij), and single-arrowed lines represent direct influence as measured by path-coefficients (Pij)

Fig. 2 Number of flowers and crop water stress index until harvest time for six birdsfoot trefoil irrigation treatments in 1994 and 1995, and two treatments in 1996. Treatment codes are indicated on the upper-right corner of each graph. Arrows and vertical lines indicate time of irrigation application (not shown for LS treatment) and standard error of the mean (SEM), respectively. Data symbols without SEM have errors smaller than the size of the symbol

Fig. 3 Total seed yield (harvested plus shattered seeds) as a function of fraction of available water used (FAWU) at time of irrigation for six birdsfoot trefoil irrigation treatments in 1994, and two treatments in 1996. Symbols indicate: LS ({square}, {blacksquare}, ) and C (+, *, open plus sign) for 1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively. Symbols indicate: D30–F(50, 100) ({circ}, •), and ({diamond}, {diamondsuit}); and D60–F (50, 100) ({triangleup}, {blacktriangleup}) and ({triangledown}, {blacktriangledown}) for 1994 and 1995, respectively. Broken line between two irrigation treatments in 1996 is for identification purposes and not for interpolation

Fig. 4 Total above-ground phytomass (TAGP) as a function of average estimated crop evapotranspiration (ETc) for six birdsfoot trefoil irrigation treatments in 1994 and 1995, and two treatments in 1996. Symbols indicate: LS ({square}, {blacksquare}, ) and C (+, *, open plus sign) for 1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively. Symbols indicate: D30–F(50, 100) ({circ}, •), and ({diamond}, {diamondsuit}); and D60–F (50, 100) ({triangleup}, {blacktriangleup}) and ({triangledown}, {blacktriangledown}) for 1994 and 1995, respectively

Fig. 5 Total above-ground phytomass (TAGP) as a function of average seasonal crop water stress index (CWSI) for six birdsfoot trefoil irrigation treatments in 1994, 1995, and two treatments in 1996. Symbols indicate: LS ({square}, {blacksquare}, ) and C (+, *, open plus sign) for 1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively. Symbols indicate: D30–F(50, 100) ({circ}, •), and ({diamond}, {diamondsuit}); and D60–F (50, 100) ({triangleup}, {blacktriangleup}) and ({triangledown}, {blacktriangledown}) for 1994 and 1995, respectively

Fig. 6 Relationship of seasonal estimated crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and amount of water applied for six birdsfoot trefoil irrigation treatments in 1994 and 1995. Symbols indicate: LS ({square}, {blacksquare}, ) and C (+, *, open plus sign) for 1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively. Symbols indicate: D30–F(50, 100) ({circ}, •), and ({diamond}, {diamondsuit}); and D60–F (50, 100) ({triangleup}, {blacktriangleup}) and ({triangledown}, {blacktriangledown}) for 1994 and 1995, respectively
