Deficit Irrigation. I: Analytical Framework
Abstract
The economics of deficit irrigation are examined. The concepts developed in the heuristic discussion are developed into a set of rigorous mathematical expressions for determination of optimum water use under deficit irrigation. These expressions also can be used to estimate the range of water use within which deficit irrigation would be more profitable than full irrigation. The expressions are completely general in the sense that they can be used with any crop production function and cost function that the analyst chooses. The general expressions are used to derive a set of specific expressions for a particular case study involving a quadratic production function and linear cost function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
