Men.] in sub-humid climatic conditions". Agricultural Water Management, 118, 113-121.0378-37741873-2283https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agwat.2012.11.021https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378377412003149http://hdl.handle.net/11452/25367Field experiments were conducted for 2 years to evaluate the use of the crop water stress index (CWSI) for irrigation scheduling of soybeans under a sub-humid climate of Bursa, Turkey. Additionally, statistical relationships between CWSI and seed yield, quality parameters, crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and water use efficiency (WUE) were investigated. Irrigations were scheduled based on the replenishment of 100 (Two), 75 (T-75), 50 (T-50), 25 (T-25), and 0% (T-0) of soil water depletion from a soil depth of 90 cm using a 7-day irrigation interval. To compute CWSI, lower (nonstressed) and upper (stressed) baselines were developed based on the canopy temperature (T-c) measurements of fully irrigated and rain-fed treatments, respectively. According to results, CWSI could be used to determine the irrigation time of soybean for sub-humid climate and 0.22 could be offered as a threshold value. Statistically significant relationships were determined between CWSI and seed yield, protein yield, oil yield, ET c and WUE. The polynomial relationship between WUE and CWSI demonstrated that highest WUE could be obtained under CWSI close to 0.6. Consequently, an irrigation schedule that considers water stress could be employed when the cost of water is high and/or water is scarce. However, because of the yield reduction, all economic aspects of water limited irrigation scheduling should be considered before making this decision. We conclude that the CWSI could be used to evaluate crop water stress and improve irrigation scheduling for soybeans under sub-humid climatic conditions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAgricultureWater resourcesCrop water stress indexIrrigation schedulingSoybeanSeed yieldQualityWater use efficiencyScheduling irrigationSeed compositionUse efficiencyBase-linesRegimesWheatTemperatureThermometryGrowthMerr.Bursa [Turkey]TurkeyGlycine maxAmino acidsCropsImage qualityNitrogen fixationOilseedsPlants (botany)SchedulingSoil moistureWater supplyCrop water stress indicesIrrigation schedulingSeed yieldSoybeanWater use efficiencyCrop yieldEvapotranspirationExperimental studyHumid environmentIrrigation systemPlant water relationsProteinSoil depthSoybeanWater managementWater stressWater use efficiencyYield responseIrrigationArticle0003153244000132-s2.0-84872225598113121118AgronomyWater resourcesDeficit Irrigation; Olea; Dehydration
