“…In this context, the testing of different options to cultivate maize in challenging environmental condition may contribute to oppose the global production reduction due to decrease of the areas suitable for production. So far, numerous modeling studies based on real data and projections have been carried out to evaluate the adaptation of maize cultivation to climate change all over the world [16][17][18][19][20]. However, only few studies focused on the sweet maize cultivation [21][22][23].…”

Maize is a crucial global commodity, which is used not only for food, but also as an alternative crop in biogas production and as a major energy-supply ingredient in animal diets. However, climate change is jeopardizing current maize production due to its direct impact on weather instability and water availability or its indirect effects on regional climate suitability loss. Hence, new areas for sweet maize cultivation should be considered in the future. Therefore, this study focuses on the possibility of producing maize in a challenging environment in Southern Italy considering rainfed cultivation and two irrigation regimes (full and deficit). The experiment was conducted during two subsequent growing seasons under semi-arid Mediterranean climate conditions. The overall results indicated a significant difference in biomass and yield between irrigated and non-irrigated treatments, and between full and deficit irrigation. Sweet maize cultivated under deficit irrigation gained less biomass than under full irrigation and its development and fruit maturation were delayed. Under deficit irrigation, the plants gave lower yields and a higher percentage of the panicle weight consisted of kernels. Irrigation water productivity was higher for deficit than for full irrigated treatment. These findings indicate the feasibility of sweet maize production in semi-arid areas of Southern Italy using adaptive agricultural strategies including deficit irrigation and controlled water stress. Given the importance of maize production, understanding of maize growth and productivity in a challenging environment may support future agricultural programming and thereby contribute e to mitigation of the direct and indirect effects of climate change.

“…En ese sentido, el modo en que los agricultores optan por aumentar la diversidad de cultivos, al preferir los más tolerantes a condiciones ambientales adversas (Ponce, 2020), resalta la importancia de la valoración de los servicios climáticos en la productividad agrícola basados en modelos de ciclos de vida de hogares rurales (Lechthaler y Vinogradova, 2017), la evaluación de la percepción de los cambios del clima en contextos socioculturales particulares (Scoville, 2018), y la gestión de riesgos para promover el rendimiento y la productividad de distintos cultivos durante su temporada de crecimiento (Laudien et al, 2020).…”

“…La productividad agrícola y su efectividad para adaptarse a escenarios climáticos adversos requieren de más información sobre los riesgos que estos puedan causar (Laudien et al, 2020). Actualmente, algunas medidas de mitigación se asocian al recurso hídrico garantizando su protección ante condiciones climáticas secas basándose en modelos estadísticos y algoritmos de aprendizaje automáticos.…”
