title = "Deficit Irrigation Management of Maize in the High Plains Aquifer Region: A Review",
abstract = "Irrigated agriculture is a major economic contributor of the High Plains Region and it primarily relies on the High Plains Aquifer as a source of water. Over time, areas of the High Plains Aquifer have experienced drawdowns limiting its ability to supply sufficient water to sustain fully irrigated crop production. This among other reasons, including variable climatic factors and differences in state water policy, has resulted in some areas adopting and practicing deficit irrigation management. Considerable research has been conducted across the High Plains Aquifer region to identify locally appropriate deficit irrigation strategies. This review summarizes and discusses research conducted in Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, and Texas, as well as highlights areas for future research. Editor's note: This paper is part of the featured series on Optimizing Ogallala Aquifer Water Use to Sustain Food Systems. See the February 2019 issue for the introduction and background to the series.",

Several of the research efforts in this work have also been supported by the USDA-ARS Ogallala Aquifer Program — a multistate effort supporting the efficient and beneficial use of the Ogallala aquifer. The authors would like to express their appreciation to past and current irrigation researchers and extension specialists across the High Plains region for their continued effort in advancing our understanding of deficit irrigation management.
