Discussion

This analysis finds that alternate furrow irrigation improves water use efficiency in wheat, highlighting sustainable practices.

Alternate furrow irrigation can save water by 39.13%, improve water use efficiency by 31.86%, and lower the blue water footprint by 29.86%.
Conventional furrow irrigation yields 11.1-15.3% more grain compared to alternate furrow irrigation, with higher biomass but lower water use efficiency.
Three irrigation methods were tested: conventional furrow irrigation, alternate furrow irrigation, and fixed furrow irrigation at various water levels.
Findings suggest alternate furrow irrigation combined with 80% crop water requirement is the recommended strategy for water-scarce regions.

Mehmood et al. (2025) studied this question.
