The researchers optimized the irrigation schedule for winter wheat in a large agricultural region in China using a model and weather data. By combining different factors like crop yield and water efficiency, they found that the new schedule increased crop yield and economic benefits while using less water. This means farmers can grow more crops with less water, helping to improve overall water use in the region.
