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.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscabiotic stressALES-Aridalmond cultivarsalmond qualityantioxidant capacityapplebenefit-cost ratiobioactive compoundsbiodegradationcherriescrop coefficientcrop physiological responsecrop physiological response to drought scenarioscrop productivitycrop suitabilitycrop water productivitycrop-production functionscrop-water requirementsdeficit irrigationdiseasesdiversitydrip irrigationdrought stressenvironmentERPevapotranspirationFDR probes and daily fraction of intercepted photosynthetically active radiationfood qualityfruit qualityfruit sizefungiGISgreenhousegrowthharvest indexhydroponicshydroxycinnamic acidsin vitro cultureinternet of thingsirrigationirrigation water productivityJerusalem artichokelandsatleaf arealeaf area indexleaf greenness indexLinum album Ky. ex Boiss.maizeManihot esculentaManzanillamarketabilitymidday stem water potentialmineral fertilizationmineral nutrientsmorphological propertiesnitrogennut yieldoliveosmolytesoxidative stressphenologyphotosynthesisphotosynthetic ratepigmentsplatformprecision agriculturepreformed plastic mulch filmPrunus dulcisqualityquality markersregulated deficit irrigationremote sensingroot componentsroot growthroot length densityroot morphologyroot weight densityroot-shoot relationshipssap flowSEBALsemiarid Mediterranean environmentsiliconsmart farmingsoftwarespray-on mulchstomatal conductancesustainabilitysustained deficit irrigationtomatotranspiration ratetuberVairowaterwater potentialwater productivitywater relationwater savingwater statuswater stresswater use efficiencyweb applicationyieldyield componentsZea maysBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalTechnology, engineering, agricultureGarcia Tejero Ivan Franciscoedt1328475Durán-Zuazo Victor HugoedtGarcia Tejero Ivan FranciscoothDurán-Zuazo Victor HugoothBOOK9910595078203321Optimizing Plant Water Use Efficiency for a Sustainable Environment3038586UNINA
