Abstract
The effects of uncertainty, stemming from spatial variability of soil properties, uncertain climate, and nonuniform water application, on irrigation management and the resulting crop yields have received much attention in recent years. Zaslavsky and Buras (1967) studied crop yield response to nonuniform application of irrigation water. Warrick and Gardner (1983) and Russo (1986) have studied the effects of spatially variable soil-water conditions on crop yield. Rhenals and Bras (1981) considered the effects of uncertain potential evapotranspiration (ETp) on irrigation scheduling. English (1981) used historical yield and climate data to inter future irrigation practices based upon a farmer’s attitude toward risk. Bresler and Dagan (1988) developed a methodology for incorporating various sources of uncertainty into crop yield analyses.
