Uso eficiente del recurso hídrico en genotipos de arroz de temporal y bajo riego suplementario en Tabasco, México
Keywords:
Water efficiency, evapotranspiration, Oryza sativa, grain yield, genetic improvementAbstract
Efficient water use is essential to sustain rice (Oryza sativa L.) production under increasing climate variability. This study evaluated water productivity (WP) and water conversion efficiency (WCE) in 36 rice genotypes grown under rainfed conditions in Tabasco, Mexico, to identify materials with improved adaptation to limited water availability. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications. Agronomic traits and water indicators based on crop evapotranspiration were analyzed. Significant differences were detected among genotypes (p < 0.001). Genotype T30 (cv. Golfo FL-16) showed the highest grain yield (4,127.2 kg ha⁻¹), greatest WP (0.54 kg m³), and lowest WCE (1.98 m³ kg⁻¹). Genotypes T15, T4, T16, and T25 also showed favorable performance, indicating exploitable variability for improving sustainability and resilience under climate change.
