Effect of deficit irrigation on physiological, biochemical, and yield characteristics in three baby corn cultivars (Zea mays L.).

The main problem in the production of crops in arid and semi-arid regions of the world is the lack of water and its effect on the plant in the form of drought stress. Cultivation of key crops such as corn, which also requires a lot of water, is not possible in these areas except by applying water consumption management methods. Among the most important of these methods is deficit irrigation.
