- Intervention effect AWDI used 29% less water.
- Intervention effect AWDI grain yield was 7.2 t/h versus 7.8 t/h under conventional irrigation, without significant reduction.
- Intervention effect AWDI reduced pest and disease incidence.
- Intervention effect AWDI shortened the crop cycle.
- Intervention effect AWDI reduced lodging.
- Intervention effect Conventional irrigation yielded slightly more grain across matched subplots.
- Recommendation Authors call for research on the optimal AWDI interval under local soil, climate and growth-stage conditions.
