Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Irrigation at all stages produced the highest grain yield.
- Intervention effect Water stress at initial stages gave the second highest yield, 29.23 qt/ha.
- Intervention effect Water stress at maturity gave the second highest yield, 28.57 qt/ha.
- Intervention effect Initial-stage stress gave lower water use efficiency of 0.43 kg/m3.
- Intervention effect Maturity-stage stress gave lower water use efficiency of 0.35 kg/m3.
- Intervention effect Irrigating only at the initial stage produced the highest water use efficiency, 0.79 kg/m3.
- Intervention effect Irrigating at all stages except initial and maturity produced optimum grain yield of 26.73 qt/ha.
- Intervention effect Irrigating at all stages except initial and maturity produced water use efficiency of 0.62 kg/m3.
- Recommendation The authors recommend avoiding stress at development and mid stage for optimum water use efficiency without significant grain-yield reduction.
