Maize leaf functional responses to drought episode and rewatering (2017, background): “1983; Fereres & Soriano 2007)—Generally, staple crops including maize are more sensitive to water deficit during seedling emergence, flowering, and early grain-filling than those during early plant growth and late grain-filling periods (e.g., Doorenbos & Kassam 1979).”
Usefulness of establishing trunk diameter based reference lines for irrigation scheduling in almond trees (2009, background): “Deficit irrigation (DI) strategies have proved effective in increasing irrigation water productivity in many crops, with no or minimal penalty on crop yield or quality (Fereres and Soriano 2007).”
Chemical root to shoot signaling under drought. (2008, background): “Both of these drying regimes reduce leaf transpiration and limit vegetative growth, thereby increasing WUE, and have demonstrated efficacy in both woody perennials [ 9 ] and herbaceous crop plants [11,12] (Box 1). Although these treatments can increase the WUE of certain crop species, knowledge of t”
A PRI-based water stress index combining structural and chlorophyll effects: Assessment using diurnal narrow-band airborne imagery and the CWSI thermal index (2013, neutral): “This is particularly critical when the objective is to apply deficit irrigation methods (for a review see Fereres & Soriano, 2007) with the required precision to enable real-time decisions.”
Global status of commercialized biotech/GM crops: 2006. (2006, background): “Drip irrigation can also reduce evaporative losses and deficit irrigation can increase WUE, often at little cost to yield (Fereres and Soriano, 2007).”
A Review of Soil-Improving Cropping Systems for Soil Salinization (2019, background): “The three most common deficit irrigation strategies are (1) regulated deficit irrigation (RDI), where water deficit is applied at certain developmental stages; (2) partial root-zone drying (PRD), where alternatively half of the root system is fully wetted while the other half is allowed to dry; and ”
Optimal coupling combinations between irrigation frequency and rate for drip-irrigated maize grown on sandy soil (2010, background): “Because the irrigation sector is the largest consumptive user of water, accounting for 71% of the freshwater use across the world, it is necessary for irrigation management practices to shift from emphasizing production per unit area towards maximizing the production per unit of water consumed (Fere”
Thermal and Narrowband Multispectral Remote Sensing for Vegetation Monitoring From an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (2009, methodology): “The RMSE before calibration was 3.44 K, which was reduced to 0.89 K after atmospheric correction.”
Interaction of rootstock and applied water amounts at various fractions of estimated evapotranspiration (ETc) on productivity of Cabernet Sauvignon (2010, background): “Greater emphasis is being placed upon increased water use efficiency in agro-ecosystems and deficit irrigation is one means to improve it (Fereres and Soriano 2007).”
