1	Economic Implications of Phenologically Timed Irrigation in Corn Production Gowon, Dawuda Tsalhatu 01 May 1979 (has links) Corn production data was fitted into a Translog production function. Analysis of the resultant equation was based on what impact irrigation keyed to the crop's phenology would have on yield. A crop product cost function was developed to determine if there is profit (loss) in adapting water application to corn by phenological time period. Reasons for not adapting phenology as a key variable in irrigation include institutional constraints. Without modifying these institutional constrains, adopting the proposed technology may prove prohibitive. economic implications phenologically timed irrigation corn production Economics
