Production of sugarcane and more recently of energy cane strengthen renewable bioenergy production capacity. However, droughts resulting from climate change have limited the production of these crops. One of the strategies to attenuate water deficit damage in these crops is the use of silicate, which contributes to plant physiology. This strategy is likely to increase water use efficiency, thus promoting crop sustainability. Notwithstanding, studies on this issue are still incipient. This study assesses whether Si applied via fertigation and foliar spraying in the seedling production phase and as a complement after seedling transplanting to the soil is efficient in attenuating water deficit in sugarcane and energy cane. The study further elucidates physiological and biochemical mechanisms involved in this process. For this, the authors conducted two experiments: one with sugarcane and the other with energy cane. Treatments were arranged in randomized blocks with 5 replications, in a 2 × 2 factorial scheme. Factors consisted of the absence (-Si) and presence of Si (+ Si) applied via fertigation and foliar spraying; and two water regimes: 70% (without water deficit) and 30% (severe water deficit) of the soil water retention capacity. Silicon was supplied during the formation phase of presprouted seedlings and during the transplanting of seedlings to pots filled with samples of Entisol (Quartzipsamment). In these pots, water regimes were induced from 7 to 160 days after transplanting. Severe water deficit reduced the water content and water potential of plants. This situation induced oxidative stress and impaired gas exchange and photosynthetic water use efficiency, reducing plant growth. Silicon supply via fertigation in association with foliar spraying in the seedling formation phase with complementation after transplanting was efficient in increasing Si accumulation in the plants. Silicon was effective in attenuating severe water deficit damage up to initial culm formation through mechanisms that maintain water and physiological balance by favoring the antioxidant defense system in sugarcane and energy cane plants.

“…An increase of grain yield and water productivity was one of the main targets for sustainable agricultural production. 32,33 Previous studies had found that the RFI system increased water productivity mainly by reducing ET and increasing grain yield. 34,35 The RFI system remarkable increased grain yield, but the effect was weakened with the increase of irrigation amounts.…”

BACKGROUND Improving irrigation water productivity is vital for sustaining high maize yield in Hetao irrigated area of northwest China. Whether ridge cropping and furrow irrigation systems (planting both on ridges and in furrows) fulfill water‐saving and maize yield‐increasing is unclear. A 2‐year trial was conducted to reveal the influence of irrigation with three levels (270, 225, 180 mm, represented as I270, I225, I180, respectively) under two planting systems [traditional flat planting system (TFI) and ridge cropping and furrow irrigation system (RFI)] on maize growth, grain yield, water use efficiency (WUE) and irrigation water use efficiency (IUE). RESULTS RFI system increased soil water storage in 0–100 cm layer (P < 0.05), but did not cause excess water consumption, compared to TFI system. Logistic equation simulation showed that RFI system advanced the time of maximum dry matter growth rate (Tmax, 2.6–4.9 days) and prolonged the duration of dry matter accumulation (Td, 3.2–4.7 days), ultimately obtained a 4.2–9.5% improvement of dry matter. Compared with TFI system, RFI system increased WUE by 8.0–21.2%, IUE by 8.3–20.5% and grain yield increased by 9.4–21.4%. RFI225 satisfied water‐saving by 16.6% and yield‐increasing by 3.6–14.7%. CONCLUSION Ridge cropping and furrow irrigation systems brought an improvement of soil water storage and dry matter accumulation and kernel per spike, and ultimately obtained an increase of grain yield and water productivity. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…Yang et al (2020) stated that the water requirement CCLII rules of crops in its different growth stages has demonstrated that the amount of irrigation water affects both water use efficiency and crop yield. Firouzabadi et al (2021) revealed that the mean irrigation water productivity obtained for drip and furrow irrigation treatments were 1.74 and 1.01 kg/m 3 , respectively. The drip irrigation caused a 33% reduction in applied irrigation water use and a 72% increase in irrigation water productivity compared to the furrow irrigation method.…”

“…Also, they proved that the improved soil water condition during the grain-fill significantly increased seed weight and HI. Firouzabadi et al (2021) found that the maximum and minimum values of two-year average weight of 1000 kernels were also obtained from 75 cm spacing among tapes (T1) and 60 cm furrow spacing (F) treatments at 44.3 and 42.1 g, respectively.…”

An experimental field was carried out during the growing season of 2019/20 and 2020/21 at The Experimental Farm, Fac. of Agriculture, Assiut, Egypt (27 12-16.67= N latitude and 31 09-36.86= E longitude) in order to evaluate the change in soil moisture retention and wheat plant response to different irrigation practices as well as their performances and water productivity. The tested irrigation practices (border, furrow, alternative furrow, gated pipe and surface drip) were arranged as factorial in a completely randomized design with three replicates. The soil moisture retention decreased clearly with soil depth for all irrigation practices through both seasons. On average basis of both seasons, the soil water retained in 60 cm soil depth was 12.36, 12.17, 11.99, 11.91 and 11.75 cm water depth for basin, furrow, alternative furrow, gated pipe and drip irrigation practices, respectively. It could be arranged the amount of retained water in descending order of basin > furrow > alternative furrow > gated pipe > drip irrigation practices. In general, it was noticed that the retained water in the top layer (0 -30 cm) was higher than that in sub layer (30-60 cm). On average basis of both seasons, the relative increases in soil water retention in 60 cm soil depth were 3.79, 3.60, 2.00 and 1.40% for basin, furrow, alternative furrow and gated pipe, respectively compared to drip irrigation practice. The irrigation performance indices of gated pipe and drip irrigation were utmost the other irrigation practices. Water application efficiency, the non-beneficial water consumption, water storage efficiency and distribution uniformity was 84.15 and 85.29%, 18.85 and 17.25%, 58.04 and 56.15% and 90.68 and 90.90 for gated pipe and drip irrigation practices, respectively. The highest wheat grain and straw yield were attained at gated pipe and drip irrigation practices since grain yield was 3164.0 and 3113.0 kg/ fed. and straw yield was 3691.5 and 3646.0 kg/fed., respectively. It might be concluded that applying more irrigation water than can be stored in the top 60 cm of the soil profile will result in inefficient utilization of this water by winter wheat. Selection of a suitable irrigation method would depend on the specific conditions of water resources, crop types and management requirements.
