- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation strategies decreased marketable onion yields to greater or lesser extents.
- Recommendation If water is readily available, full irrigation is recommended for onion.
- Intervention effect RDI with 50% of the IWR during bulb ripening saved 22% of water compared with full irrigation.
- Intervention effect RDI with 50% of the IWR during bulb ripening slightly decreased onion yield by 9% compared with full irrigation.
- Intervention effect RDI with 50% of the IWR during bulb ripening improved IWUE by 20% compared with full irrigation.
- Intervention effect RDI with 75% of the IWR during bulb ripening gave a lower reduction in onion yield of 4%.
- Intervention effect RDI with 75% of the IWR during bulb ripening increased IWUE by 9%.
- Recommendation RDI with 75% of the IWR during bulb ripening is advisable for onion production under a mild water shortage in Mediterranean conditions.
