OPTIMIZED ALLOCATION OF LIMITED AMOUNT OF IRRIGATION WATER AMONG SIMULTANEOUS ANNUAL CROPS AT FARM LEVEL (ORDILS)

Objective

1. Develop the optimization algorithm for the ORDILS (Optimized Regulated Deficit Irrigation for Limited volume of irrigation water and Simultaneous crops) methodology and demonstrate its applicability in actual management conditions. 2. Evaluate the effect of the ORDILS methodology on the profitability and physiological response of crops. 3. Evaluate the effect of the ORDILS methodology on the agricultural and economic productivity of water and the water footprint of crops. 4. Analyze the impact of the ORDILS optimization algorithm on the profitability and pressure of bodies of groundwater that are overexploited or at risk of being so, given a scenario of climate change where there is decreasing the water available for irrigation. 5. Develop an online application to make this methodology available to technicians and farmers.
