Abstract:

Deficit irrigation is an optimization strategy in which irrigation is applied during drought-sensitive growth stages of a crop. In Ethiopia crop like maize, common bean, soybean, potato, wheat and onion were affected by severe moisture stress. In areas where water is the most limiting resource to production, maximizing water use efficiency may be more profitable to the farmer than maximizing crop yield. This is because the water saved when deficit irrigation is applied becomes available to irrigate more land.

Keywords: Deficit irrigation, water use efficiency, growth stage.
