Crop Water Production Functions—A Review of Available Mathematical Method

Evaluation of Virtual Water and Water Footprint of Crop Production (Case study: Qaleganj County)

To address the optimal use of available water resources, a revisit of water resource allocation and management is needed. Water use and water footprint of every product varies in different geographical areas due to various climate, agricultural operations and water efficiencies. Thus, more productive management schemes are to be developed. The goal of this study is to assess the virtual water a...

On crop production and the balance of available resources

One of the main insights achieved in the early days of agricultural science is that each environment has a specific balance of resources, which is available to the crop. This balance determines crop production, the effect of resource addition and the effect of agronomic operations. However, attempts to quantify this balance are scarce. It is normally taken into account indirectly by a general d...

Improving water use in crop production.

Globally, agriculture accounts for 80-90% of all freshwater used by humans, and most of that is in crop production. In many areas, this water use is unsustainable; water supplies are also under pressure from other users and are being affected by climate change. Much effort is being made to reduce water use by crops and produce 'more crop per drop'. This paper examines water use by crops, taking...
