- Intervention effect Total dry matter declined stepwise as water deficit increased.
- Intervention effect Grain yield declined stepwise as water deficit increased.
- Intervention effect Surfactant raised grain yield at every irrigation level.
- Intervention effect Surfactant raised total dry matter at every irrigation level.
- Observation Irrigation water use efficiency based on total dry matter was highest at I 40 and lowest at full irrigation.
- Observation Irrigation water use efficiency based on grain yield was highest at I 40 and lowest at full irrigation.
- Intervention effect Surfactant increased irrigation water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Surfactant increased grain yield.
- Intervention effect Surfactant increased irrigation costs by 4.7%.
- Intervention effect Surfactant with 40% less water achieved the same profit as full evapotranspiration without surfactant.
- Recommendation The authors conclude corn can be grown with acceptable yields under limited irrigation by using surfactant.
