The impact of deficit irrigation on the growth, development, yield, and accumulation of bioactive compounds in crops: a review

Tóm tắt

Since ancient times, it has been observed that plants exposed to drought conditions undergo substantial alterations, both in their morphological characteristics and in the composition of their internal compounds. Research carried out in last few decades has certified several such claims of effects of deficit irrigation on crop growth, vitality, yield, and the composition of bioactive compounds. Diverse irrigation strategies, including deficit irrigation and partial root zone drying, as are their effects on plant physiology at different growth stages were discussed. The article further highlights the connection between water deficit irrigation and the physiological reactions of various plant species. The findings indicate that deficit irrigation influences all aspects, including plant vitality, yield, and the concentration of bioactive compounds across different plant species. The knowledge may contribute to a holistic understanding of deficit irrigation, and crucial for optimizing water management in agriculture.
