Abstract:Numerical models of crop response to irrigation and weather forecasts with internet access should be fully utilized in modern irrigation management. In this respect, we developed a new numerical scheme to optimize irrigation depth that maximizes net income over each irrigation interval. The scheme applies volumetric water prices to inspire farmers to save water, and it provides growers with real-time estimates of irrigation depth and net income over the growing season. To evaluate this scheme, we carried out a… Show more
