Implication

Meta-analysis reveals optimized irrigation significantly improves water use efficiency and wheat yield in China.

Key Points

  • Optimized water-saving irrigation practices can reduce irrigation water by 35.1% without yield penalties.
  • Drip irrigation improved water use efficiency by 18.7% and partial factor productivity of nitrogen by 6.8%.
  • Severe deficit irrigation (<40%) resulted in considerable yield losses while moderate deficit irrigation maintained stable yields.
  • Soil texture and climatic factors, such as precipitation, heavily influence the effectiveness of water-saving irrigation.
