WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES UNDER DEFICIT IRRIGATION

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering, 2008
Deficit irrigation (DI) is an optimization strategy whereby net returns are maximized by reducing the amount of irrigation water; crops are deliberated allowed to sustain some degree of water deficit and yield reduction. Although the DI strategy dates back to the 1970s, this technique is not usually adopted as a practical alternative to full irrigation

Impact of water-deficit stress on tritrophic interactions in a wheat-aphid-parasitoid system. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Increasing temperature and CO2 concentrations can alter tritrophic interactions in ecosystems, but the impact of increasingly severe drought on such interactions is not well understood.

Physiological and Agronomic Responses of Four Rice Varieties to Drought in the Rainforest. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The present investigation tested the hypothesis that there would be variation in physiological responses to water deficit among rice varieties from different production ecologies, with contrasting tolerance to water deficit under repeated cycle of soil ...

Predictive Control Applied to a Solar Desalination Plant Connected to a Greenhouse with Daily Variation of Irrigation Water Demand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The water deficit in the Mediterranean area is a known matter severely affecting agriculture. One way to avoid the aquifers’ exploitation is to supply water to crops by using thermal desalination processes.

Developing a Crop Water Production Function for Alfalfa under Deficit Irrigation: A Case Study in Eastern Colorado

open access: yesAgriculture, 2023
Recent Colorado, USA water law provisions allow a portion of irrigation water to be leased between agricultural and other users. Reducing consumptive use (CU) through deficit irrigation while maintaining some crop production could allow farmers to earn ...

Proline and sodium nitroprusside increase the tolerance of Physalis peruviana L. plants to water deficit through chemical priming

open access: yesCiência e Agrotecnologia, 2022
Water deficit is the main cause of abiotic stress to which plants are susceptible, whether cultivated or those that are underexploited, such as Physalis peruviana L.

Water-deficit equation: systematic analysis and improvement [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2013
The water-deficit equation {WD(1) = 0.6 × B(m) × [1 - (140 ÷ Na(+))]; B(m) denotes body mass} is used in medicine and nutrition to estimate the volume (L) of water required to correct dehydration during the initial stages of fluid-replacement therapy.

Drought tolerance of sugarcane propagules is improved when origin material faces water deficit.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Drought stress can imprint marks in plants after a previous exposure, leading to plant acclimation and a permissive state that facilitates a more effective response to subsequent stress events.

A biomarker based on gene expression indicates plant water status in controlled and natural environments

open access: yes, 2013
Plant or soil water status are required in many scientific fields to understand plant responses to drought. Because the transcriptomic response to abiotic conditions, such as water deficit, reflects plant water status, genomic tools could be used to ...
