With increasing municipal and industrial demands for water, its allocation for agriculture is
decreasing steadily. The major agricultural use of water is for irrigation, which, thus, is …

With increasing demands for municipal and industrial uses of water, the share of agricultural
use of water is steadily decreasing to the detriment of agricultural production. With limited …

Improving water productivity is urgently needed in water-scarce dry areas. This chapter
discusses crop-water production functions, ie the relationships between yield and water …

Results of several field experiments on deficit irrigation programmes in Turkey are
discussed. Deficit irrigation of sugarbeet with water stress imposed (ie., irrigation omitted) …

This study aims at assessing the feasibility of deficit irrigation of maize, wheat and sunflower
through an analysis of the economic water productivity (EWP). It focuses on selected …

This paper presents the findings of the effect of some selected deficit irrigation scheduling
practices on irrigated maize crop in a sub-catchment in south western part of Tanzania. Field …

Water shortage is the main limiting factor for agricultural productivity in many countries and
improving water use efficiency in agriculture has been the focus of numerous studies. The …

Water shortages are responsible for the greatest crop losses around the world and are
expected to worsen. In arid areas where agriculture is dependent on irrigation, various forms …

This paper examines the relationship between soil moisture stress, evapotranspiration, and
marketable yield of crops–where the yield is a reproductive organ or associated product. It is …
