Supplemental Irrigation: A promising Climate-Smart Practice for Dryland Agriculture
Supplemental irrigation - the addition of
limited amounts of water to essentially
rainfed crops to improve and stabilize
yields when rainfall fails to provide
sufficient moisture for normal plant
growth - is an effective ...
Improving agricultural water productivity: A necessary response to water scarcity and climate change in dry areas
