The allocation of irrigation water will be an ever-increasing source of pressure because of vast agricultural demands under changing climatic conditions. Consequently, irrigation has to be closely linked with water-use efficiency with the aim of boosting productivity and improving food quality, singularly in those regions where problems of water shortages or collection and delivery are widespread. The present Special Issue (SI) showcases 19 original contributions, addressing water-use efficiency in the context of sustainable irrigation management to meet water scarcity conditions. These papers cover a wide range of subjects including (i) interaction mineral nutrition and irrigation in horticultural crops, (ii) sustainable irrigation in woody fruit crops, (iii) medicinal plants, (iv) industrial crops, and (v) other topics devoted to remote sensing techniques and crop water requirements, genotypes for drought tolerance, and agricultural management. The studies were carried out in both field and laboratory surveys, with modelling studies also being conducted, and a wide range of geographic regions are also covered. The collection of these manuscripts presented in this SI updates on and provides a relevant contribution for efficient saving water resources.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscfruit sizeManzanillaoliveregulated deficit irrigationwater potentialwater relationleaf areaManihot esculentaphotosynthesistuberwater statusantioxidant capacitybioactive compoundsgrowthhydroxycinnamic acidshydroponicspreformed plastic mulch filmcrop water productivitybiodegradationcrop productivityspray-on mulchwater use efficiencyalmond cultivarscrop physiological responseirrigation water productivitynut yielddrip irrigationsiliconmineral nutrientsoxidative stressosmolytesyieldZea maysERPGISinternet of thingsprecision agriculturequalityenvironmentwatersoftwareplatformweb applicationcrop coefficientdrought stressevapotranspirationmaizewater productivityPrunus dulcisVairowater stresssustained deficit irrigationquality markersleaf greenness indexroot morphologyalmond qualitysustainabilitymarketabilitysemiarid Mediterranean environmentroot componentsyield componentsfruit qualitydeficit irrigationleaf area indexharvest indexphotosynthetic ratetranspiration rategreenhousein vitro cultureapplecherriesmidday stem water potentialsap flowstomatal conductanceFDR probes and daily fraction of intercepted photosynthetically active radiationabiotic stressLinum album Ky. ex Boiss.morphological propertiesphenologypigmentsdiversityroot length densityroot weight densityroot-shoot relationshipsbenefit-cost rationitrogenroot growthtomatowater savingJerusalem artichokemineral fertilizationirrigationdiseasesfungicrop suitabilityremote sensingALES-AridSEBALlandsatcrop-water requirementssmart farmingcrop-production functionsfood qualitycrop physiological response to drought scenariosResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesTechnology, engineering, agricultureGarcia Tejero Ivan Franciscoedt1328475Durán-Zuazo Victor HugoedtGarcia Tejero Ivan FranciscoothDurán-Zuazo Victor HugoothBOOK9910595078203321Optimizing Plant Water Use Efficiency for a Sustainable Environment3038586UNINA
