This project
uses crop modeling tool to develop in-season irrigation management decisions
for a variety of crops, starting with corn, and extending for other crops as
funding becomes available. Another
objective is to make improvements in model (CERES-Maize) to account for deficit
irrigation and to assess potential recharge from irrigation. Several sources of
existing research dataset from the Panhandle Research and Extension Center
(PHREC) at ScottsBluff, West Central Research and
Extension Center (WCREC) at
