Pulse Drip Irrigation Improves Yield, Physiological Responses, and Water-Use Efficiency of Sugarcane

Pulsed drip irrigation helps irrigation management in the search for sustainability and water rationalization in irrigated cropping systems, becoming an effective tool in mitigating stress due to water deficit. Therefore, the present research aimed to evaluate photosynthesis, gas exchange, leaf area, and biomass production of sugarcane under irrigation depths applied by pulsed and continuous drip. For this, we conducted a field experiment from December 2020 to December 2021. The plants were subjected to two types of irrigation applications (pulsed and continuous) and five irrigation depths (40, 60, 80, 100, and 120
