Popis: To quantitatively evaluate the effect of RW irrigation on yield, WUE, and IWUE, and identify aqueous, edaphic, and management factors that favor improved yield, WUE, and IWUE compared to control practices, a meta-analysis was conducted. The results indicated that RW irrigation is beneficial for improving crop yields, WUE, and IWUE (16.8, 23.8, and 18.7%, respectively). However, its effectiveness is highly dependent on the aqueous, edaphic, and management factors of the studies evaluated. Greater responses were found in practices using RW with a pH < 7 or a nitrogen content
