Abstract
Water stress, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, is a major limitation on crop production in many parts of the world (Flexas et al. , 2004) since it not only reduces plant water content but also diminishes cell turgor and growth. It is more important to use water resources wisely and to irrigate intelligently in agriculture, where rainfall is scanty or limited to shorter period (Jeelani et al., 2017). In semi-arid areas bringing new irrigation projects and converting most of cultivated area under micro irrigation is very necessary and this can save and increase water use efficiency of crops (Singh et al., 2015).
