Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Eco-engineering strategies such as regulated deficit irrigation, integrated drip fertigation, soil amendments and intercropping can enhance water productivity, mitigate environmental impacts and build soil health together.
- Recommendation Cotton water management should move from isolated water conservation toward integrated, nexus-informed water-smart management designed for multifunctionality.
- Association Irrigation practices co-determine water use efficiency (WUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in cotton.
- Association Irrigation practices co-determine greenhouse gas emissions and nitrate leaching in cotton.
