Deficit Irrigation as a Sustainable Practice in Improving Irrigation Water Use Efficiency in Cauliflower under Mediterranean Conditions [PDF]

Agronomy, 2019
Water shortage is one of the major constraints in vegetable production. Deficit irrigation is a sustainable technique that improves irrigation water use efficiency. Field studies were conducted during two growing seasons to evaluate the effects of deficit irrigation on plant growth, plant water status, productive response (curd yield and quality ...

Regulated Deficit Irrigation during Vegetative Growth Enhances Crop Water Productivity in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Agronomy, 2023
To optimize irrigation, agronomists need to modulate crop water productivity (CWP) throughout phenology. We compared regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) and sustained deficit irrigation (SDI) in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. var.

The Effect of Sustained Deficit Irrigation and Different Irrigation Methods on Yield and Evapotranspiration of Second-Crop Soybeans in the Mediterranean Basin

Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering
Soybeans are a crucial major food source in human and animal nutrition due to their high fat and protein content. This study investigated the effects of different irrigation methods on yield and yield components of second-crop soybeans under deficit irrigation conditions. The study aimed to determine the crop evapotranspiration, water productivity (WP),

Partial root-zone drying enhances antioxidant signaling and physiological resilience in psyllium (<i>Plantago ovata</i>) under arid conditions. [PDF]

Plant Signal Behav
Drought-induced reduction in crop yield is becoming a serious threat worldwide, especially in arid to semiarid regions. The introduction of medicinal plants into cropping patterns in arid regions is a suitable alternative to conventional crops because of

Chemical priming of strawberry plants under deficit irrigation enhances yield efficiency and physiological resilience. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Strawberry is a high-value crop with substantial water requirements, rendering it particularly vulnerable to irrigation limitations, especially in regions like the Mediterranean, which is characterized by low summer rainfall and restricted water sources.
