Water use efficiency (WUE) and nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency (NUE) of winter wheat are
urgently needed to further improve in the North China Plain (NCP). In this study, a 3-year …

It's very important to guarantee the wheat production and improve water productivity in the
North China Plain (NCP). In order to reduce irrigation and ensure the crop production in the …

Drip irrigation has been gradually adopted for winter wheat production in the North China
Plain (NCP) due to significant saving from using irrigation water and improving water and …

Soil moisture affects the yield and water use efficiency (WUE) of winter wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) by regulating the spatial distribution of roots. Therefore, appropriate …

Available irrigation resources are becoming increasingly scarce in the North China Plain
(NCP), and nitrogen-use efficiency of crop production is also relatively low. Thus, it is …

Excessive nitrogen (N) application combined with water shortage has a negative effect on
crop production, particularly wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the North China …

Sound irrigation and nitrogen management strategies are necessary to achieve sustainable
yield and water use efficiency of winter wheat in the North China Plain (NCP). The coupled …

The shortage of groundwater resources is a considerable challenge for winter wheat
production on the North China Plain. Water-saving technologies and procedures are thus …

The rapid decline of groundwater table is threatening sustainable irrigation agricultural
development in the North China Plain (NCP). Optimized irrigation scheduling and water …

Abstract The North China Plain (NCP) is a remarkable region with serious water shortages,
especially during the winter wheat growing season. Developing water-saving irrigation is an …
