Deficit and Wick Irrigation Explained by Sylvester Wafula is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Deficit irrigation is a strategy where irrigation is applied only during drought-sensitive crop growth stages, limiting water at other times if rainfall provides minimum needs. Total irrigation is less than full requirements, causing stress but maximizing water productivity. Experiments show deficit irrigation can increase cotton and wheat yields and water use efficiency with limited losses. Wick irrigation uses a fabric string from the soil into a water reservoir, allowing capillary action to slowly wate
