This study involved exploring the opportunities of using regulated deficit irrigation and partial
root zone drying approaches as water-saving irrigation methods in a tomato crop (Solanum …

Partial rootzone drying (PRD) is an irrigation technique that usually applies less water (than
well-watered control treatments) to only part of the rootzone (the irrigated side) and …

Dry/wet cycles of soil may stimulate mineralization of soil organic carbon (C) and nitrogen
(N) leading to increased N bioavailability to plants but potentially also increased C and N …

Water availability for agriculture is being reduced as a consequence of global climate
change, environmental pollution and growing demand for other uses. Therefore, great …

One of the main negative effects of climate change is the increasing scarcity of water
worldwide. Wheat is the second major staple food of the world and drought is the main factor …

World water supplies are limited and water-saving irrigation practices, such as partial
rootzone drying (PRD), should be explored. We studied the effects of PRD, applied through …

There is currently a shortage of irrigation water available for cotton production in Australia
due to recent climatic and legislative conditions. Some growers have responded to this …

Partial root-zone drying (PRD) is an irrigation technique which has shown increased water
use efficiency (WUE) without yield reductions in potato and other crops. However, questions …

Techniques that reduce the volume of water applied in irrigation are desirable in the face of
dwindling water resources and increasing demand for food. Various water-saving irrigation …

Water scarcity in arid regions is a serious problem, which calls for innovative irrigation water
management. Partial root zone drying (PRD) technique can considerably reduce irrigation …
