Overview

Observational analysis demonstrated improved yield in maize under moderate irrigation in arid regions, suggesting effective drought adaptation strategies.

Key Points

  • Moderate regulated deficit irrigation increased maize yield by 8.0% while using 10% less water.
  • This irrigation treatment enhanced protein levels to 7.59g/100g and starch content to 68.1g/100g.
  • Severe regulated deficit irrigation failed to alleviate drought stress, causing biomass loss and inhibiting yield.
  • W1’s physiological adaptations included osmotic adjustment and antioxidant defense, indicating effective stress resistance.
