Response of surface-irrigated corn to regulated deficit irrigation

Ingeniería Agrícola y Biosistemas, 2016
Corn is the basic input of the Mexican diet. It is grown in one-third of the country, with Sinaloa being the leading producer of irrigated corn in Mexico, mainly by surface irrigation. It has become increasingly urgent to optimize the use of water due to competition from non-agricultural sectors for water resources, as well as the high spatial and ...
