Abstract

To measure the expected benefits that may be derived from a sophisticated irrigation technology, a stochastic open-loop feedback control policy was built into a grain sorghum growth simulation model. The control policy operated under the basis of constant revision of the expectations generated at every starting point for each of the production periods.
