During the argument,
Wue grabbed a scissor from the office and attacked Wang.
Water use efficiency (
WUE) in the production of fresh (A and B) and dry (C and D) phytomass.
The research--which was conducted in partnership with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and a network of 16 regional grower groups--measured the factors that influence
WUE and investigated what management practices would lead to an increase in
WUE, with impressive results.
The goal of this study was to evaluate this hypothesis through measures of midday gas exchange, [k.sub.root],
WUE, and the growth of Toona ciliata var.

It may be concluded previous crop nitrogen and RTP pattern can improve population structure, increase the yield and
WUE of summer maize and thus is a promising method for farmers in North China.
In addition, the
WUE was calculated from C isotope ratio (51 !C) as described by Farquhar et al.
C[O.sub.2]induced stomatal closure can also result in other environmental and economic benefits, such as improvement in
WUE. This is particularly beneficial in view of the growing demand for water in urban areas, which will likely lead to declining availability of irrigation water for agriculture.
PUEa * iel = PUEw * iel +
WUE * iwtr + WD * id, where PUEa and PUEw correspond to those of the facilities with air cooled and water cooled chillers respectively.
This study was carried out at the Werer Research Center with the objectives to identify the level of deficit irrigation with the combination of application methods that allow achieving optimum sesame yield and its relation with
WUE to develop effective water techniques for the efficient use of irrigation water in irrigated agriculture as a means of water-saving strategies under semiarid conditions.
Using the LI-6400XT Portable Photosynthesis System [24], instantaneous rates of photosynthesis (A) and transpiration (E), along with the corresponding intercellular C[O.sub.2] concentration (Ci), [g.sub.s], and
WUE were measured.
