Applying plant-based irrigation scheduling to assess water use efficiency of cotton following a high-biomass rye cover crop

Abstract Background This study addressed the potential of combining a high biomass rye winter cover crop with predawn leaf water potential (ΨPD) irrigation thresholds to increase agricultural water use efficiency (WUE) in cotton. To this end, a study was conducted near Tifton, Georgia under a manual...
