The enhancement of water use efficiency and productivity of rainfed cropping systems, through breeding for improved drought resistance and water use efficiency in crops and through the development of more efficient crop production systems and irrigation management strategies, is discussed in this chapter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
