The impact on crop yield of genotypic variation in W(T) will depend on three factors: (i) the impact of variation in W(T) on crop growth rate, (ii) the impact of variation in W(T) on the rate of crop water use, and (iii) how growth and water use interact over the crop's ...
Bio-water saving can be defined as the reduction of crop water consumption employing biological measures. This is the focus of efforts to save water in agriculture. Different levels of water-use efficiency (WUE) have been developed. The genetic diversity of WUE has been confirmed in several cro...
Crop in these regions have lower and more variable yields than those in irrigated and favored rainfed regions, but they do have some innate advantages. Their production comes without the large public costs of irrigation structures and depletion of groundwater. Grain produced under terminal drought is...
On one hand, the world’s population is expected to increase by 2 billion in the next 30 years according to United Nations statistics, whilst at the same time water, land, labor, and other resources for food production are expected to become scarcer. According to the US Environmental...

A range of crop and management strategies might be combined for a specific target environment in order to optimize crop productivity. These combinations can then be used as a guidance to future decision support systems for crop production at limited water supply under arid Mediterranean conditions....

Our analysis leads to the conclusion that revolutionary cropping systems have the potential to use existing water resources much more effectively, providing both food security and greater cash incomes with manageable climate risk, without WSD. The knowledge and skills gained in doing so could be ...
