Irrigation Production Functions with Water-Capital Substitution
Abstract The dynamics of biomass growth implies that the yield of irrigated crops depends, in addition to the total amount of water applied, on irrigation scheduling during the growing period. Advanced irrigation technologies relax constraints on irrigation rates and timing, allowing us to better adjust irrigation scheduling to the varying needs of the plants along the growing… Continue reading Irrigation Production Functions with Water-Capital Substitution
