Land and Water Management Strategies for the Improvement of Crop Production
Gabrijel Ondrasek, Zed Rengel, Dragutin Petosic and Vilim Filipovic
In the majority of world agroecosystems water relations in the soil–plant continuum are not optimal during the vegetation period. Hence, agricultural crops are usually exposed to one or both (at various times of a growing season) of the water imbalances such as water scarcity (deficit) and/or waterlogging/inundation. Both water stresses endanger food production, often contributing to various additional constraints (soil salinity/alkalinity, organic matter depletion). Managing the optimal water relations in the root zone in the agroecosystems is becoming increasingly challenging due to global ...
