Under field conditions, for the Ladutsa soybean variety, a WUE of 0,75 g of grain/kg of water was obtained with seasonal precipitation of 94 mm, which is several times less than 317 mm, considered optimal for achieving the average agricultural WUE of 0,57.enwater use efficiencysustainable developmentfield soybeanArticlehttps://doi.org/10.53040/gppb8.2024.18
