Short summary
Optimizing water resources management in rainfed agricultural production systems requires the reasonable choice of crops. The adoption of crops diversification is promoted to increase the agricultural production. The objective of this study is : (i) to identify mixed crops within agricultural fields and, (ii) to evaluate the biomass production and the water productivity in the Lebna watershed (Cap-Bon, Tunisia) using remote sensing and field measurements.
