  Effect of Deficit Irrigation on Crop Yield and Water Productivity of Crop, a Synthesis Review
  Author(s): Abera Tesfaye*
  
  The use of agricultural water is the main among all uses of water. Water scarcity is one of the greatest challenges for crop production. In areas with water shortages, water savings in agricultural production is critical and essential. Improved irrigation management strategies and efficient use of irrigation water are the most cost-effective tools to address water conservation issues. Deficit irrigation is a method to increase water use efficiency, decrease water demand, and improve the yield of crops. In deficit irrigation practice, agricultural water productivity (yield per unit of water used) must be improved. Increasing water productivity is a vital element in improved water management for sustainability, health ecosystem functioning, and food security. Maximizing water productivity is better than land productivity for the dry agriculture system. Improving water producti.. Read More»
