“…Hagan et al (1967) asserted that excessive irrigation delays maturity, harvesting, encourages vine growth, and decreases yield. To achieve better control and management of water in crop production and irrigation efficiency, the irrigation should match crop requirements (Maggio et al, 2002;Bauerle et al, 2002).…”

The yield of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), one of the major crops planted in the Loess Plateau, China, is mainly affected by available water. Straw mulch and irrigation are efficient ways of influencing wheat yield and water-use efficiency. To develop better semiarid crop and water management practices, a 13-year experiment in spring wheat monoculture was conducted at the Dingxi Soil and Water Conservation Institute of the Loess Plateau. The influence of rainfall during the growing season (March-July) on yields of rain-fed wheat was studied for 13 years (1982-1992 and 1997-1998). The influence of straw mulch and irrigation on wheat yield, and water-use efficiency, was studied for 2 years (1997)(1998). We found that growing season rainfall had a significant (P < 0.05) influence on biomass and grain yield of spring wheat in rain-fed conditions during the 13 years. Both biomass and grain yield were very low and varied significantly due to the low and significant variability of growing season rainfall. Straw mulch increased wheat yields significantly during both dry (1997) and wet (1998) years. It increased biomass and grain yield by 37 and 52%, respectively, in 1997, and by 20 and 26%, respectively, in 1998. Straw mulch also significantly decreased evapotranspiration (P < 0.05), soil water depletion (P < 0.01), and increased water-use efficiency (P < 0.001). Biomass and grain yield both increased (P < 0.01 orP < 0.001) with increasing irrigation in 1997 and 1998. The three irrigation levels increased the biomass yield from 34 to 66% in 1997, and from 34 to 77% in 1998. The irrigation levels also increased grain yield from 53 to 102% in 1997, and from 22 to 57% in 1998. Water-use efficiency for biomass and grain yield also increased with increasing irrigation. On the other hand, irrigation water-use efficiency for biomass and grain yield decreased with increasing irrigation. The results suggest that higher crop yields in the semiarid Loess Plateau may be achieved by using irrigation, or a proper combination of straw mulch and irrigation. #

“…The MAESTRA [Multi-Array Evaporation Stand Tree Radiation A] model (Wang and Jarvis, 1990) is a three-dimensional process-based model that computes transpiration, photosynthesis, and absorbed radiation within individual tree crowns at relatively short time (15-minute) intervals. The model is described more fully by Bauerle & Bowden (2011b) and has been modified and previously validated to estimate deciduous tree transpiration (Bauerle et al, 2002;Bowden & Bauerle, 2008) and within-crown light interception (Bauerle et al, 2004). The model applies physiological equations to sub-volumes of the tree crown and then sums and/or averages the values for entire canopies.…”

“…Within each 15-minute time step, the model adjusts transpiration based on interactions between environmental, soil moisture, and plant physiological response. The substrate moisture deficit calculation is described in Bauerle et al (2002). An updated substrate moisture value is carried into the next time step for input into the substrate moisture deficit sub-routine.…”

“…Maggio et al (2002) and Bauerle et al (2002) argued that higher crop yields are possible by proper irrigation management with higher water use efficiency. Reddy and Reddy (1993) also opinioned that high wheat yield can be obtained by applying irrigation at correct time with judicial amount particularly at reproductive stages.…”

to check the influence of various irrigation regimes on growth, yield and water use efficiency of wheat at variable temperatures. The treatments were comprised of three irrigation levels: I 1 = (irrigation at tillering, stem elongation, booting and grain development), I 2 = (irrigation at tillering, stem elongation and grain development) and I 3 = (irrigation at tillering and grain development) and two temperature levels viz. existing field temperature and an elevated temperature of 4°C above the existing temperature in controlled conditions. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in split plot arrangement with four replications with a net plot size of 1.32 m × 5 m. The results showed that the growth, yield and water use efficiency was significantly affected by various irrigation regimes and temperature variables. Growth and yield related traits were significantly higher when irrigation was applied at tillering, stem elongation, booting and grain development followed by I 2 (Irrigation at tillering, stem elongation and grain development). Similarly, growth, yield and water use efficiency was highest under normal existing field conditions. Among irrigation levels, water use efficiency and NAR was highest when only two irrigations at tillering and grain development were applied. In conclusion, at the face of declining water availability and in water deficient areas, water application may be done at tillering and grain development stage for achieving better Water Use Efficiency (WUE). However in water sufficient areas, water application at tillering, stem elongation, booting and grain development is recommended to achieve higher yields. Similarly, current climate change scenario resulting in temperature elevation will severely affects wheat yields.
