High efficient water use in agriculture includes water saving irrigation and dryland farming, its core being to increase use efficiency and benefit of natural precipitation and irrigation. Each of measurement methods of field evapotranspiration has its advantages and disadvantages. Modified Penman and ...
Except N, which had no significant effect on WUE (P > 0.05, Fig.6), other fertilization measures significantly improved the WUE of maize (P > 0.05) compared with no fertilization. The rate of change in water use efficiency from high to low was NPK (160.72%) > NPKO (144....

Water Use Efficiency (WUE) is defined as the total accumulated biomass per used unit of water applied102, indicating how effectively a crop uses water. WUE is a critical factor in agriculture, especially in areas where water is scarce. The combined analysis indicated that WUE was significantly i...
The increase in each parameter will have a positive effect on agricultural water consumption. The relationship between agricultural water use efficiency and agricultural water use was non-linear when the government's attention and the rural labor force were used as threshold variables....
On the other hand, the water efficiency coefficient of tertiary industry of the tertiary industry in the economically developed middle and lower reaches is generally more than 3000, while the water use efficiency coefficient of the two source towns is less than 2000, which is more backward than ...
The use of venturi aeration has successfully been applied to irrigation water for agriculture production and increased yields of the crops (Bagatur, 2014; Dahrazma et al., 2019). Alternatively, if the sole purpose of the water is for irrigation of crops, hydrogen peroxide can be added to ...
Experiments have shown that no-till farming can increase the yield of maize by 19.26% and the water use efficiency by 13.3% [36]. 3.2.2. Conditions of Irrigation Infrastructure Hexi inland river basin is a typical irrigated agricultural area: there is no agriculture without irrigation, and ...
Enhancing agricultural water use efficiency can support Shaanxi Province’s transition to a sustainable agricultural economy. Using the data envelopment approach (DEA), we evaluated the water use efficiency in agriculture of various cities in the Shaanxi Province of China. Moran’s I and Dagum Gini ...
Durum wheat often faces water scarcity and high temperatures, two events that usually occur simultaneously in the fields. Here we report on the stress responsive strategy of two durum wheat cultivars, characterized by different water use efficiency, subjected to drought, heat and a combination of bo...
