Abstract
The optimal use of water is one of the most important challenges in the agricultural sector. Although modern irrigation systems increase irrigation efficiency and enhance distribution uniformity of water in the root zone, the time and depth of irrigation in these systems is considered one of the important challenges. (Liang et al., 2020; Brar et al., 2022).  This research was conducted to assess the effect of using precise irrigation management (PIM) on the yield and water use efficiency of sweet corn KSC403.
