Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation produced greater winter wheat leaf area index than surface irrigation.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation increased above-ground biomass at harvest by 4 ~ 22.1%.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation increased winter wheat yield by 11.5 ~ 50.9%.
- Mechanism Greater 1000-kernel weight mainly explained greater yield under sprinkler irrigation.
- Intervention effect Seasonal crop evapotranspiration was 4 ~ 23% lower under sprinkler irrigation.
- Intervention effect Water productivity was 18 ~ 57% higher under sprinkler irrigation.
- Intervention effect Irrigation water productivity was 21 ~ 81% higher under sprinkler irrigation.
- Association Climate conditions significantly affected crop water productivity and irrigation water productivity.
- Association Agronomic practices significantly affected crop water productivity and irrigation water productivity.
- Recommendation The authors recommended sprinkler irrigation as an efficient water-saving method for winter wheat in the North China Plain.
