A non-linear model is presented which optimizes the lay-out, as well as the design and management of trickle irrigation systems, to achieve maximum net benefit. The model consists of an objective function that maximizes profit at the farm level, subject to appropriate geometric and hydraulic constraints. It can be applied to rectangular shaped fields, with uniform or zero slope. The software used is the Gams-Minos package. The basic inputs are the crop-water-production function, the cost function and cost of system components, and design variables. The main outputs are the annual net benefit and pipe diameters and lengths. To illustrate the capability of the model, a sensitivity analysis of the annual net benefit for a citrus field is evaluated with respect to irrigated area, ground slope, micro-sprinkler discharge and shape of the field. The sensitivity analysis suggests that the greatest benefit is obtained with the smallest microsprinkler discharge, the greatest area, a square field and zero ground slope. The costs of the investment and energy are the components of the objective function that had the greatest effect in the 120 situations evaluated. (C) 1996 Academic Press Limited

Um experimento de campo com diferentes níveis de irrigação e nitrogênio foi conduzido no Centro de Ciências Agrárias da Universidade Federal de Alagoas com o objetivo de determinar a função de produção e as isoquantas de produtividade agrícola da cana-de-açúcar com base nas lâminas de irrigação e doses de nitrogênio (N). A precipitação pluvial efetiva durante o ciclo de produção foi 1.037 mm e a lâmina de irrigação bruta máxima foi 873 mm. A produtividade agrícola ficou entre 118 e 188 Mg ha-1, média de 160 Mg ha-1. Na isoquanta da produtividade agrícola média da cana-de-açúcar, a taxa marginal de substituição de água por N é 0,36 kg mm-1 (na interseção das retas de 25 kg de N ha-1 e 760 mm de irrigação) e infinita (na interseção das retas de 125 kg de N ha-1 e 390 mm de irrigação). A quantidade de água e nitrogênio de menor custo para produzir 160 Mg ha-1 foi 390 mm de irrigação e 112 kg de N ha-1. A regressão polinomial de segundo grau apresentou ajuste médio (r2 = 62%) para a produtividade agrícola em relação às lâminas de irrigação e doses de nitrogênio. A resposta da cana-de-açúcar à adubação nitrogenada aumenta em proporção direta com disponibilidade hídrica do solo.

This article investigates the productivity and production function of thirteen large Brazilian textile and clothing companies before and after the end of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (AVT) that abolished import quotas in 2005. For this purpose, we estimate the stochastic production frontier in panel data between 1997 and 2008 and simultaneously an explanatory equation for the (in)efficiency of firms, as proposed by Battese and Coelli (1995). The results indicated that more efficient firms are the oldest. The total factor productivity of firms tended to fall, even after the end of quotas, increasing productivity only from 2007. Overall, firms from Santa Catarina were more efficient than those of other states.

Although several studies have been conducted to evaluate the uniformity of water application under center pivot irrigation systems, there are few studies concerning the economic perspective of such coefficient. The aim of this study is to present a methodology to accomplish an economic analysis as support for the decision-making to retrofit emitters in center pivot irrigation systems, and to attribute an economic meaning to the uniformity coefficient of water application taking into account the response function productivity to the amount of water applied and the sale price of the crops. In the hypothetic calculation example considering the variation of revenue of potato crop under center pivot irrigation system, it was verified that the area with uniformity coefficient of water application of 90% brought an income increase of BR$ 1,992.00, considering an area about 1,0 ha. Thus, it can be concluded that the methodology presented has met the objectives proposed in the study and made it possible to attribute an economical meaning to the coefficient of water uniformity application.
