Résumé

Water scarcity and climate variability complicate irrigation management for grain maize, particularly in semi-arid regions. This book examines maize development and crop water requirements, the effects of heat and drought on plant growth and grain yield, and methods for assessing water-use efficiency and water productivity. It explains evapotranspiration, soil-water balance and the interpretation of irrigation performance indicators. Surface and subsurface drip irrigation are discussed alongside their operational limitations and maintenance needs. The final chapter considers irrigation scheduling, full and deficit irrigation, and decisions that balance water conservation with grain production under constrained water supplies.
