Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Soil moisture content, evapotranspiration and water use efficiency of sunflower varied significantly among irrigation, tillage and gypsum treatments.
- Intervention effect At maturity, conventional tillage was more effective than deep tillage for soil moisture at any stage.
- Intervention effect Evapotranspiration generally increased with increasing irrigation level, and the effect was more prominent under deep tillage than conventional tillage.
- Association Water use efficiency was lowest in plots with higher ET, that is, where water was applied more frequently.
- Association Higher crop yield was recorded with high ET in frequently irrigated plots, possibly due to increased nutrient uptake.
