Repeated soil drying and rewetting (DRW) cycles occur in rainfed and irrigated agriculture.
The intensity and frequency of DRW cycles regulate both microbial physiology and soil …

Improving the water productivity under arid regions conditions is the main goal for all
researchers who are working under sustainable and agricultural water management. Two …

Partial Rootzone Drying (PRD) is a new deficit irrigation strategy that has recently been
developed for grapevines in Australia. We have been evaluating the PRD strategy for apples …

Soil drying and re-wetting (DRW) occurs at varying frequencies and intensities during crop

This study was conducted to compare two water-saving practices, deficit irrigation (DI) and
partial rootzone drying (PRD), and examine how they affected soil water distribution, water …

Field experiments were conducted during 2007–2009 to study the effect of deficit irrigation
practices through drip irrigation system on soil moisture distribution and root growth in cotton …

Purpose Partial rootzone drying (PRD) typically alternates the dry and irrigated parts of the
rootzone, but how plant physiology and soil evaporation respond to this alternation are …

China is the largest worldwide potato producer where around half of the crops is planted in
the semi-arid region frequently affected by water restriction. While innovative methods are …

Water availability represents the main environmental limitation in arid and semi‐arid agro‐
ecosystems. In these regions, irrigation water is a scarce and expensive resource for apple …
