TLDR
Results of this 3-year study show that all vegetative and yield parameters were significantly affected by water shortage in the soil profile due to omitted irrigation during the sensitive tasselling and cob formation stages.About:

The effect of drought and heat stress on reproductive processes in cereals.
TL;DR: The results achieved so far indicate that various plant organs, in a definite hierarchy and in interaction with each other, are involved in determining crop yield under stress.

Deficit irrigation as an on-farm strategy to maximize crop water productivity in dry areas
Sam Geerts,Dirk Raes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the advantages and disadvantages of deficit irrigation and compare them with field research and crop water productivity modeling, concluding that a certain minimum amount of seasonal moisture must be guaranteed.

Regulated deficit irrigation for crop production under drought stress. A review
Qiang Chai,Yantai Gan,Cai Zhao,Hui-Lian Xu,Reagan Waskom,Yining Niu,Yining Niu,Kadambot H. M. Siddique +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that RDI is largely implemented through three approaches: (1) growth stage-based deficit irrigation, (2) partial root-zone irrigation, and (3) subsurface dripper irrigation.

Comparative response of maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) to deficit irrigation in a Mediterranean environment
Imma Farré,J.M. Faci +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a field experiment was conducted on a loam soil (Typic Xerofluvent) in Northeast Spain using the sprinkler line-source technique, and the results indicated that sorghum could be a good alternative to maize under limited water conditions in semi-arid conditions of Northeast Spain.

Plant Responses to Water Stress
TL;DR: The role of turgor and sensitivity to stress, as well as growth adjustments during and after stress, are studied.
Book ChapterDOI
Yield response to water
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology to quantify yield response to water through aggregate components which form the "handles" to assess crop yields under both adequate and limited water supply is presented, which takes into account maximum and actual crop yields as influenced by water deficits using yield response functions relating relative yield decrease and evapotranspiration deficits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deficit irrigation and nitrogen effects on maize in a Sahelian environment: I. Grain yield and yield components
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of timing and frequency of deficit irrigation and N on maize yield and yield components was evaluated under a semi-arid Sahelian environment, where maize was grown under five irrigation treatments, providing deficit irrigation during vegetative and reproductive periods at five N levels on a Tropudalph clay loam soil.
