Analysis of irrigation pumping and application efficiency in the central Ogallala formation

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5789429
This study evaluates irrigation technologies designed to increase pumping and application efficiency for irrigated grain sorghum in the Oklahoma Panhandle region. A dynamic grain sorghum plant growth model is incorporated into a farm level simulation model to derive the effects of alternative irrigation schedules on crop yields, water use and producer net returns. Comparisons of proposed irrigation schedules is accomplished using stochastic efficiency and optimal control procedures.
