Crop yield response to water
Published on by Claudia Casarotto, Innovations for Poverty Action - Deputy Country Director - Kenya
FAO has revisited the approach to quantify crop yields in response to water use and water deficit. The result of this effort is explained in this new publication: http://bit.ly/OXJFVz
This new publication will help to:
- assess the effect of water shortages on crop production;
- investigate the impact of climate change on crop yield;
- compare the results of several water allocations plans;
- optimize irrigation scheduling.
