Limited Irrigation Management: From Crop Response to Agronomic Practice

Dear Colleagues,

At present, many countries and regions worldwide are facing significant challenges in terms of water shortages and an increasing demand for food production. Moreover, crop growth, yield, and quality are inseparable from efficient agricultural irrigation measures. In some areas, limited irrigation occurs when water availability is restricted and cannot meet the full evapotranspiration (ET) demand. During the whole crop growth cycle, it is necessary to appropriately and timely monitor crop growth conditions, adjust irrigation management strategies, and maximize water use efficiency.

This Special Issue, entitled "Limited Irrigation Management: from Crop Response to Agronomic Practice", aims to collate the latest cutting-edge research and advances in limited irrigation management in agriculture. We welcome research articles, reviews, and opinion articles addressing any topic related to crop-limited irrigation and water management, such as crop water deficit diagnosis and water demand information detection, crop growth status analysis, limited irrigation strategies, crop water management practices, and water use efficiency improvement.
