Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Biomass and yield differed significantly between irrigated and non-irrigated maize treatments.
- Intervention effect Biomass and yield differed significantly between deficit and full irrigation of maize.
- Intervention effect Under deficit irrigation the development and fruit maturation of sweet maize were delayed compared with full irrigation.
- Intervention effect Under deficit irrigation maize gave lower yields.
- Intervention effect Under deficit irrigation a higher percentage of the panicle weight consisted of kernels.
- Intervention effect Irrigation water productivity was higher under deficit irrigation than under full irrigated treatment.
- Recommendation Sweet maize production is feasible in semi-arid Southern Italy with adaptive strategies including deficit irrigation and controlled water stress.
