Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Maize treatment T8, deficit irrigation throughout the growing season except the initial stage, had the minimum grain yield, about 5264 kg/ha.
- Intervention effect Treatment T8 had the highest maize water use efficiency, 2.11 kg/m3.
- Intervention effect Treatment T4 had the lowest maize water use efficiency, 0.93 kg/m3.
- Intervention effect A 50%ETc water deficit during the third and fourth growth stages had no significant effect on maize grain yield.
- Method / resource AquaCrop simulated maize aboveground biomass, grain yield, and canopy cover well for most treatments.
- Method / resource AquaCrop was less satisfactory at simulating growth under prolonged maize water deficit.
- Recommendation The authors recommend saving irrigation water by applying a 50%ETc deficit during the third and fourth maize growth stages.
