Deficit irrigation management is a strategy used in places with little water for crops. It's about carefully deciding when and how much to water. For some crops, getting less water on purpose can actually make them better, while also saving water. This method can involve giving fewer scheduled waterings or purposely holding back on water in the soil. The goal is to use water as efficiently as possible to help the plants grow well. Scientists have looked into ways to manage this type of irrigation, like controlled deficits or watering only part of the roots. Successful deficit irrigation depends on using the water wisely to improve crop quality while dealing with water scarcity.
