Drip irrigation boosts winter wheat yield and dry matter accumulation significantly.
The study looked at how different amounts of drip irrigation affect the growth and yield of winter wheat. They found that more irrigation led to increased dry matter accumulation and grain yield. The best results were seen at the flowering stage. More irrigation increased the amount of dry matter moving to the grains after flowering, resulting in higher yields. Overall, treatments with higher irrigation levels had better dry matter assimilation after flowering, leading to higher grain distribution and yield.
