Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Alternating irrigation sequence significantly affected soil salinity accumulation.
- Observation Four chlorophyll fluorescence metrics varied greatly at jointing and heading.
- Intervention effect Fresh water at heading produced maize yield of 8.53 t ha−1, above jointing and filling timing.
- Intervention effect Fresh water at filling produced 7.45 t ha−1, below heading timing.
- Recommendation In water-scarce areas, prioritize fresh water at heading for summer maize.
