Strategies for Improved Water Use Efficiency (WUE) of Field-Grown Lettuce (<i>Lactuca sativa</i> L.) under a Semi-Arid Climate

Strategies for Improved Water Use Efficiency (WUE) of Field-Grown Lettuce (<i>Lactuca sativa</i> L.) under a Semi-Arid Climate

Water use efficiency is a main research target in agriculture, which consumes 70% of global freshwater. This study aimed at identifying sustainable water management strategies for the lettuce crop in a semi-arid climate. Three independent experiments were carried out on a commercial variety of lettu...
