Abstract Maize being sub-tropical crop is sensitive to water deficit during the
early growth stages; particularly clay-rich soil, due to the compaction of the soil.
It is well-documented that potential sub-surface drip irrigation (SDI) (Full irrigation; SDIFull (100% field capacity (FC)), Deficit irrigation; SDIDeficit (70% FC))
improves water use efficiency, which leads to increased crop productivity; since it
has a constraint that SDI excludes soil air around the root-zone during irrigation
events, which alter the root function and crop performance. Additionally, in clayrich soils, the root system of plants generally suffers the limitation of oxygen,
particularly the temporal hypoxia, and occasionally… More >
