water-management

6 articles

Water management refers to the strategies and technologies used to regulate the supply, distribution, and efficiency of water use in agricultural and natural systems. In plant science, it is critical for optimizing crop growth, drought resistance, and yield, especially in water-intensive crops that rely on precise irrigation timing and volume. Understanding plant water use also informs breeding and engineering efforts aimed at developing more resilient, water-efficient varieties amid changing climate conditions.
