Optimising Water Management in Drylands to Increase Crop Productivity and Anticipate Climate Change in Indonesia

In the future, Indonesia will become increasingly dependent on dryland agriculture. New adaptive technology innovations able to transform drylands into arable land throughout almost entire year have been developed anticipate global climate change in tropical areas. This article reviews results of research importance and water management increase crop index productivity Indonesia. We found that irrigation treatment at 80% FAO-recommended rate resulted highest maize stover yield (around 13.65–14.10 t h−1). Irrigation 60% for soybeans (at 0.24 L s−1 h−1) produced good-quality soybean seeds. The use existing resources can planted area from 1.25 1.67 cropping during second planting season same area.
