Yield, fruit quality and water use efficiency of tomato for processing under regulated deficit irrigation: A meta-analysis

Agricultural Water Management, 2019
Tomato is one of the most widely grown vegetables in the world because of special nutritive value of its fruit. Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) is widely applied in tomato production due to the water shortage.

QTL for Water Use Efficiency in Alfalfa

2010
Alfalfa is the most important forage crop cultivated in semi-arid areas, both in rainfed and irrigated conditions. Water available for crops is a limited resource and improvement of water use efficiency (WUE) is an important goal for plant breeding. The objective of this study was to detect quantitative traits loci (QTL) for WUE in a mapping population

Water-Use Efficiency in Crop Production

BioScience, 1984
A prime concern in cultivating crops has always been water availability. The earliest crops may have been seeded about 18,000 years ago on the high dunes area of the Nile floodplain immediately after the flood waters receded (Wendorf et al. 1982). This practice assured adequate moisture for plants to grow and produce grain.
