1 CropSyst-Microbasin Model As a Tool to Inform Variable-Rate Nitrogen Management and Dryland Farm Profitability Inland Pacific Northwest cereal grain region Nicole Ward Dave Huggins 2015 Heterogeneous landscape More N will not increase yield (WATER limited) Goal: effective management NEED: understand spatial variability (dynamics, drivers, stability models) 1

Many potential applications (biophysical, economic, risk, management) Field data 1. Input data from heavily instrumented field site Field data 1. Input data from heavily instrumented field site 2. Compare outputs to observed data Biophysical Assessment: Compare simulated & observed data Crop Yield, Biomass, Nitrogen Uptake Nitrogen Loss and Storage Runoff, Drainage, Water Storage Soil Nutrient Concentrations 2

Assess biophysical and economic outcomes of variable-rate fertilizer use Biophysical Assessment: Crop Yield Nitrogen Loss Economic Assessment: Price, cost of production & cost of fertilizer based on 22 local farm budgets (Hilary Davis Thesis, 2014, U Idaho); yield from model Crop Price $ bushels Crop Yield Cost of Production bushel acre = Returns to Risk $ acre $ acre 3
