by Timing of deficit determines effect on yield and water-use efficiency
Cotton producers struggling with available water after drought and dropping water tables can maximize crop yields from limited water with some planning and implementation of variable deficit irrigation, according to research by Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists.A team of Texas A&M AgriLife researchers recently published “Evaluation of growth-stage-based variable deficit irrigation strategies for cotton production in the Texas High Plains” in the Agricultural Water Management journal.
