Water Use Efficiency: Maximizing Crop Production per Drop

With water scarcity increasing globally, agronomy must develop strategies that maximize crop production per unit of water used. This involves understanding plant water relations, optimizing irrigation timing, selecting drought-tolerant varieties, and managing soil to improve water retention. Precision irrigation systems could deliver exactly the right amount of water at the right time. Can we double crop yields while halving water use?
