Drip fertigation significantly increased crop yield, water productivity and nitrogen use efficiency with respect to traditional irrigation and fertilization practices: A meta-analysis in China

, 2021
Improving irrigation and fertilization management for greater productivity is critical to address water scarcity. Drip fertigation can synchronize the water and nitrogen (N) supply with crop demand, offering the potential for enhanced water productivity (

Agroforestry: Water Use Efficiency

2020
Agroforestry is the intentional integration of trees and shrubs into agricultural systems. In agricultural systems, water is often the major factor limiting growth. When water availability is limited as a result of limited supply or high cost, its efficient use becomes critical to successful production systems.

Improving/maintaining water-use efficiency and yield of wheat by deficit irrigation: A global meta-analysis

, 2020
Population growth and climate change are necessitating increases in food production and reduction in amounts of water used for agriculture. Deficit irrigation has been proposed as a strategy to maintain/increase yield while reducing the use of water in ...

Factors affecting crop water use efficiency: A worldwide meta-analysis

, 2020
Water is a limiting natural resource for agricultural production. While it is well accepted that crop types differ in their water use efficiency (WUE), there is no consensus on the main factors affecting WUE of main field crops, which was the motivation ...

Water Use Efficiency as a Constraint and Target for Improving the Resilience and Productivity of C3 and C4 Crops.

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2019
The ratio of plant carbon gain to water use, known as water use efficiency (WUE), has long been recognized as a key constraint on crop production and an important target for crop improvement.

Regional differences in the industrial water use efficiency of China: The spatial spillover effect and relevant factors

, 2020
Increasing industrial water use efficiency is key to achieving sustainable industrial development. This study employed bootstrap-data envelopment analysis to calculate the industrial water use efficiency in 31 Chinese provinces from 2005 to 2015.

Effects of nitrogen application rate and irrigation regime on growth, yield, and water-nitrogen use efficiency of drip-irrigated winter wheat in the North China Plain

Agricultural Water Management, 2020
Drip irrigation has been gradually adopted for winter wheat production in the North China Plain (NCP) due to significant saving from using irrigation water and improving water and nitrogen use efficiencies.
