Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Autumn sowing gave higher sugar beet harvestable yield water use efficiency than spring sowing, 2.44 versus 1.08 kg m -3.
- Intervention effect Autumn sowing gave higher sugar beet sucrose water use efficiency than spring sowing, 2.12 versus 0.84 kg m -3.
- Intervention effect Sugar beet irrigation regimes did not differ significantly in water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Reduced irrigation gave higher sugar beet dry matter water use efficiency than optimal irrigation only with spring sowing.
- Intervention effect Tomato dry matter water use efficiency was unaffected by irrigation regime.
- Intervention effect Tomato ET 66 had higher harvestable yield water use efficiency than ET 100, 1.19 versus 1.00 kg m -3.
- Association Year significantly affected dry matter water use efficiency, with the lowest values in the driest year.
- Association Year significantly affected harvestable yield water use efficiency, with the lowest values in the driest year.
- Observation Irrigation water use efficiency was higher in tomato than sugar beet for dry matter, harvestable product, and economic return.
- Intervention effect Midcycle dry matter water use efficiency was higher for autumn than spring sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Midcycle harvestable yield water use efficiency was higher for autumn than spring sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Tomato ET 66 used water most efficiently, particularly at the crop cycle end.
