Maize Seedling Establishment, Grain Yield and Crop Water Productivity Response to Seed Priming and Irrigation Management in a Mediterranean Arid Environment

نویسندگان

چکیده

Water shortage is a major environmental stress that destructively impacts maize production, particularly in arid regions. Therefore, improving irrigation management and increasing productivity per unit of water applied are needed, especially under the rising temperature precipitation fluctuations induced by climate change. Laboratory field trials were carried out present study, which aimed at assessing possibility promoting germination, growth, grain yield crop (CWP) using seed priming different regimes. Two treatments, i.e., hydro-priming hardening versus unprimed seeds, four regimes, 120, 100, 80 60% estimated evapotranspiration (ETc). The obtained results indicated from 100% up to 120% ETc did not significantly increase or contributing traits, while it decreased CWP. Deficit gradually all attributed traits. Seed ameliorated seedlings’ vigor as earlier higher germination percentage, longer roots shoots, heavier fresh dry weight than seeds with superiority treatment. Additionally, conditions, increased yield, traits CWP compared Interestingly, reflect role priming, hardening, mitigating negative drought enhancing well deficit conditions. This was demonstrated significant moderate severe conditions These highlight efficient can environments.

High-yield irrigated maize in the Western U.S. Corn Belt: II. Irrigation management and crop water productivity

Appropriate benchmarks for water productivity (WP), defined here as the amount of grain yield produced per unit of water supply, are needed to help identify and diagnose inefficiencies in crop production and water management in irrigated systems. Such analysis is lacking for maize in the Western U.S. Corn Belt where irrigated production represents 58% of total maize output. The objective of thi...

Water consumption, grain yield, and water productivity in response to field water management in double rice systems in China

Rice cultivation has been challenged by increasing food demand and water scarcity. We examined the responses of water use, grain yield, and water productivity to various modes of field water managements in Chinese double rice systems. Four treatments were studied in a long-term field experiment (1998-2015): continuous flooding (CF), flooding-midseason drying-flooding (F-D-F), flooding-midseason...
