Increasing water productivity in agriculture. [PDF]

, 2013
Increasing water productivity is an important element in improved water management for sustainable agriculture, food security and healthy ecosystem functioning. Water productivity is defined as the amount of agricultural output per unit of water depleted, and can be assessed for crops, trees, livestock and fish.

Leaching fraction impacts water use efficiency and nutrient losses in maize crop under salt stress

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2022
Although leaching fraction (LF) is used to remove salts from the root zone under conditions of salinity, if miscalculated, it can decrease water use efficiency and lead to major losses of essential nutrients. This study evaluated the water use efficiency,

Crop Water Productivity, Applied Water Productivity and Economic Decision Making

Water, 2022
Increasing productive water use in agriculture is seen as paramount to meet future food demand with limited water supplies. The main objective of this paper is to gain a better understanding of the interrelated linkages between crop water productivity (CWP) and applied water productivity (AWP) as affected by irrigation management decisions in order to ...
