Global potential to increase crop production through water management in rainfed agriculture (2009, result): “Thus, as confirmed by earlier studies (Gregory et al 2000, Hatfield et al 2001, Pandey et al 2003), the likely success of soil and/or water management differs among regions, mainly due to differences in climate.”
Improving water use in crop production (2008, background): “Soil evaporation can be substantially reduced through minimum tillage and mulching using materials or crop residues (see Hatfield et al. 2001).”
Resource use efficiency of field-grown sunflower, sorghum, wheat and chickpea: II. Water use efficiency and comparison with radiation use efficiency (2005, background): “Notwithstanding the limited progress on w, the subject has recently received increasing interest, both in rain-fed (e.g., Angus and van Herwaarden, 2001; Hatfield et al., 2001) and irrigated agriculture (e.”
Effect of Organic Mulching on Soil Moisture, Yield, and Yield Contributing Components of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) (2017, background): “[11] who also reported a 34–50 percent reduction in soil water evaporation as a result of crop residue mulching.”
