Abstract
Irrigation remains a vital practice in agriculture to sustain global food supplies, though the practice itself utilizes large amounts of water resources to sustain crops. Wheat and maize are among the most abundant crops grown worldwide, and in areas in which their crop water requirements aren’t adequately met, the question of whether to use irrigation from potentially threatened water resources becomes an essential consideration in agricultural operations. Meta-analysis, a powerful statistical tool is a relatively recent innovation in agriculture, especially dealing with irrigation, with capabilities of synthesizing large amounts of otherwise disparate data into coherent and innovative results. In this study, Meta-analysis was used to compare the evapotranspiration (ET), water use efficiency (WUE), and grain yield of nonirrigated mazie and wheat to differentially irrigated maize and wheat using data from three different continents to assess the ultimate efficacy of irrigation techniques. The results indicate that grain yield and WUE were significant for maize, and the ET and grain yield significant for wheat. In general, irrigation for maize and wheat is worth the use of water resources.
