Spatiotemporal rainfall variability and low soil fertility are the primary crop production challenges facing poor farmers in semi-arid environments. However, there are few solutions for addressing these challenges. The literature provides several crop upgrading strategies (UPS) for improving crop yields, and biophysical models are used to simulate these strategies. However, the suitability of UPS is limited by systemization of their areas of application and the need to cope with the challenges faced by poor farmers. In this study, we reviewed 187 papers from peer-reviewed journals, conferences and reports that discuss UPS suitable for cereals and biophysical models used to assist in the selection of UPS in semi-arid areas. We found that four UPS were the most suitable, namely tied ridges, microdose fertilization, varying sowing dates, and field scattering. The DSSAT, APSIM and AquaCrop models adequately simulate these UPS. This work provides a systemization of crop UPS and models in semi-arid areas that can be applied by scientists and planners.

“…In the west of Iran, which has moderately cold wet winters and hot dry summers (June -August), chickpea is conservatively sown in spring (March -April), which approximately corresponds with the end of the rainy season in this region (Oweis et al, 2004). Thus, spring-sown chickpea growth is largely restricted by terminal drought.…”

“…It has been revealed that supplemental irrigation, generally applied between flowering and the beginning of seed growth, can improve significantly spring-sown chickpea yield (Oweis et al, 2004, Silva et al, 2014. The effect of different irrigations and sowing date on yield and water use efficiency has been investigated in some studies (Zaman-Allah et al, 2011;Pasandi et al, 2014;Silva et al, 2014).…”

Chickpea is a legume of the family Fabaceae and the most widely grown crop in the semi-arid Mediterranean regions. This pulse crop can grow on almost any soil and is well adapted to the semi-arid conditions, but for good growth it requires a fertile soil with good residual moisture. Therefore, nutrient-and water-management practices are necessary agronomic options to improve chickpea production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different conventional and nano-fertilizers on growth and yield of Kabuli chickpea under supplemental irrigation. The experiment was carried out at a research field in dry highland of Maragheh, North western Iran. Plants were grown under rainfed situation during the vegetative growth and supplement irrigations was applied during flowering and seed filling stages. The effect of nine nutrient treatments including T1: control (no fertilizer application), T2: nano-chelated iron, T3: nano-chelated manganese, T4: nano-chelated copper, T5: nano-chelated boron, T6: organic manganese, T7: conventional NPK fertilizer, T8: multi-nutrient nano-fertilizer and T9: nano-chelated zinc were evaluated. Result showed that application of multi-nutrient nano-fertilizer, conventional NPK fertilizer and nano-chelated Zn considerably improved the both vegetative growth (e.g. plant height, canopy width, number of the branches) and yield components. Also the highest chlorophyll concentration (P < 0.05) was recorded for plant grown by application of multi-nutrient / compound fertilizers. There was a significant positive correlation between chlorophyll concentration and seed yield components (P < 0.01). Among the applied micronutrients, plants significantly responded to nano-chelated Zn. Conventional NPK significantly improved the lateral growth (canopy width, ground cover, branches numbers).The results pointed out that the best performance of chickpea could be achievable through utilization of nano-of multi-nutrient fertilizer, with the simultaneous release of micronutrients and macronutrients. The findings provided illustrative information in order to appreciate the importance of balanced crop nutrition in semi-arid Mediterranean region.

“…Although the effects of deficit and supplemental irrigation are different at different crop growth stages and for different soil moisture conditions, it is essential to supply enough water to crops in the stages that are most sensitive to water stress and to reduce the amount of irrigation in the other stages. It is important to monitor soil moisture and to supply water according to the condition of the soil [18][19][20][21][22]29,38,[40][41][42]57,60,68,69 . Deficit of between 15% and 59% would be economically optimal. )…”

Agriculture in developing countries usually depends on rainfall. However, erratic rainfall makes agricultural production unstable. It is necessary to harvest water resources and to use them efficiently in order to stabilize crop yields. Methods of harvesting water resources are subject to topography. In lowlands, it is easy to collect water, because water flows in, but this is difficult in uplands, because water flows out. This article reviews methods of harvesting water resources and using them effectively in developing countries by reviewing papers from the last 20 years.
