If they do not receive enough rainfall in a critical period (say after germination), even the whole year's harvest may be missed, so water management policy will be one of the key issues for the future ”. According to research, varieties with high water requirements, such as sugar beet, potatoes, alfalfa, will only be produced by irrigation, although this method is much more ...
