In this study we review the state of the art of different physiologically-based water-saving
irrigation strategies and methods used to improve productive water use efficiency (WUE …

Agriculture consumes more than two thirds of the total freshwater of the planet. This issue
causes substantial conflict in freshwater allocation between agriculture and other economic …

Abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity constantly threaten food security. Biochar as a
soil amendment has the potential to ameliorate soil and alleviate drought and salinity stress …

The nutritional responses to drying and rewetting cycles of partial root-zone irrigation still
remains elusive. The effect of alternate partial root-zone irrigation (PRI) on water use …

Anaerobic digestates from sewage sludge (SSADs) are a by-product of the wastewater
treatment process that still preserves a certain agronomic interest for its richness in plant …

Considering the current water scarcity of Northwest China, aiming at sustainable agricultural
development in this region, it is required to identify and apply the most appropriate practices …

We investigated the effects of elevated CO 2 concentration ([CO 2]), different irrigation
regimes, and their interactions on leaf gas exchange, water relations, biomass production …

Soil drought and salinity are stresses that seriously restrict plant productivity. Water and salt
stress often occur simultaneously or sequentially in the heavily irrigated field in the arid and …

The deficient agricultural water caused by water shortage is a crucial limiting factor of
horticultural production. Among many agricultural water-saving technologies, regulated …

Partial root-zone drying (PRD), a water-saving irrigation strategy, is being tested in many
field crops species. In this study, the effects of PRD on root yield, sugar yield, water use …
