Soil drying and re-wetting (DRW) occurs at varying frequencies and intensities during crop
production, and is deliberately used in water-saving irrigation techniques that aim to …

This paper considers the impact on crop productivity of an enhanced understanding and
subsequent manipulation of plant drought stress biochemistry and physiology. Emphasis is …

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 …

Although much of global agriculture is rain-fed, production is frequently (and sometimes
catastrophically) constrained by rainfall. Supplementary irrigation can stabilize yield from …

Paddy fields are drained and irrigated several times during the whole rice growth period.
Although studies have acknowledged the sensitivity of flooding and drainage in rice …

Sustainable development goals (SDGs) by United Nations are some of the high-priority
areas of research and this article established the sustainable agronomic practices …

Continuously flooded rice systems are a major contributor to global rice production and food
security. Allowing the soil to dry periodically during the growing season (such as with …

Partial root drying (PRD) has been shown to stimulate stomatal-closure response and
improve water-use efficiency and thus biomass production and grain yield under water …

To meet the major challenge of increasing rice production to feed a growing population
under increasing water scarcity, many water-saving regimes have been introduced in …

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 …
