Deficit irrigation effectively reduces soil carbon dioxide emissions from wheat fields in Northwest China

Deficit irrigation effectively reduced CO₂ emissions from winter wheat field soils. T3 may be a water-saving, CO₂ emission-reducing and high-yield irrigation regime for winter wheat fields in northwest China. The research laid a preliminary theoretical foundation for formulating winter wheat irrigation systems that are water saving, emission reducing, and that produce high yields. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
