The optimal long-run fertilisation and irrigation of a perennial crop is approached via two stochastic dynamic optimisation models. The first model assumes that the ex-post level of the state variable--leaf nitrogen (LN)--is known with certainty. The second model assumes that the level of leaf...

With some agri-environmental restrictions, municipal wastewater can be utilized for agricultural irrigation and river rehabilitation. This paper develops a single-year planning model for a region in Israel which consists of a city and three potential wastewater consumers. The model incorporates,...

The impact of uncertain salt balances in irrigate fields is assessed with a hydroeconomic model that incorporates the effects of salinity. Uncertainty in two parameters that jointly determine root zone salinity is investigated and the conclusions prove to depend upon the way in which these...

This paper investigates the effects of first-best policies to regulate nitrogen application. Some nitrogen fertilizer is applied ex ante before a random rainfall, but sidedressed nitrogen may be applied ex post. First-best policy is a tax or a quota on ex ante application, because sidedressed...

Investigates the split application of nitrogen for rainfed corn in the Midwest using two-stage decision model. Ex post analysis of late nitrogen application; Ex ante analysis of preplant nitrogen application: Use of information from the Erosion Productivity Impact Calculator (EPIC); Implications...
