Micro-irrigation breakthrough slashes water use, boosts crop yields for farmers worldwide.
The article discusses how irrigation timing affects water efficiency. It explores using a specific measure to decide when and how much to water crops. This measure helps balance giving plants enough water and avoiding waste. The study finds that using this measure can lead to better crop growth using less water. It compares a smart watering schedule with a traditional one that waters the whole field equally. The smart schedule can earn more profit while conserving water efficiently. Overall, properly timing irrigation is crucial for maximizing crop yields and saving water.
