Global irrigation contribution to wheat and maize yield

X. Wang, C. Müller, et al.

This innovative study by Xuhui Wang and colleagues reveals that irrigation significantly enhances global wheat and maize yields, contributing 34% and 22% respectively. Despite these gains, many regions face water scarcity that threatens agricultural sustainability. Dive into the findings that could transform farming in drought-prone areas.
