Optimum crop design under limited and adequate irrigation possibilities in small scale farming enterprises of Gap-Tahilalan Irrigation Union

Selli F., Benli B., Kodal S.

The GAP region enjoys a rather high agricultural potential in terms of its climatic and soil characteristics. Approximately 1.8 million hectares of land will be brought under irrigation in this region. In order to utilise the existing water and land resources of the region in most efficient way, studies on post-irrigation crop patterns and their respective shares are critical in the process of transition from rainfed to irrigated farming. The objective of the present study is to determine the crop design that will ensure maximum returns in a small-scale farm (30 decares) in the Tahilalan Irrigation Union in the Harran Plain under adequate and deficit irrigation conditions. In this context the study determines plant water needs for crops cultivable under given conditions, irrigation plans under adequate and deficit irrigation conditions, necessary inputs and costs gross profit margins. On the basis of this information, the optimum crop design is obtained by linear programming.
