The main challenge of the twenty-first century is to find a balance between environmental
sustainability and crop productivity in a world with a rapidly growing population. Soil health …

Drip irrigation has been gradually adopted for winter wheat production in the North China
Plain (NCP) due to significant saving from using irrigation water and improving water and …

Irrigation has been pivotal in sustaining wheat as a major food crop in the world and is
increasingly important as an adaptation response to climate change. In the context of …

The knowledge of suitable irrigation methods coupled with effective irrigation scheduling to

Abstract The North China Plain (NCP) has progressively implemented drip irrigation for
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production because of its substantial irrigation water …

Relaxor-ferroelectrics are fascinating and useful materials, but the mechanism of relaxor-
ferroelectricity has been puzzling the scientific community for more than 65 years. Here, a …

Water use efficiency (WUE) and nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency (NUE) of winter wheat are
urgently needed to further improve in the North China Plain (NCP). In this study, a 3-year …

The design and selection of ideal emitter discharge rates can be aided by accurate
information regarding the wetted soil pattern under surface drip irrigation. The current field …

Different levels of water and nitrogen are considered to have significant effects on yields in
arid regions. This paper aims to reveal the effects of levels of water, nitrogen fertilizer and …
