performance, irrigation, efficiencyAbstract
The study of the water-yield functions and their use in irrigation water planning is an important way to draw up management strategies that contribute to the increase in agricultural production. Using the data of water applied by irrigation and the yields obtained in more than 100 field experiments carried out fundamentally in Red Ferralitic soil in the southern area of Havana and with the help of regression analysis tools in this work, the applied water functions are estimated. -Yields for some agricultural crops and possible irrigation optimization strategies to be followed based on water availability are analyzed. Selecting a strategy of maximum irrigation efficiency can lead to water reductions to be applied between 21.6 and 46.8%, increases in water productivity between 17 and 32% and the estimated benefit / cost ratio of up to 3 ,4%. The foregoing indicates the importance from the economic point of view that the use of this strategy can achieve in conditions of water deficit. The knowledge of the water functions applied by irrigation-yield and the use of water productivity, are feasible parameters to introduce as efficiency indicators in the planning of water use in agriculture, with which it is possible to reduce the volumes of water to apply and raise the current benefit-cost ratio.
