Targeted irrigation expands scope for winter cereal production in water-limited areas of California's San Joaquin Valley

Abstract

Efforts to achieve groundwater sustainability in California's San Joaquin Valley will entail substantial pumping reductions, and much irrigated cropland may become newly fallowed. Winter crops grown under water-limited conditions could offer an alternative to fallowing, but their viability may be limited by variable rainfall and high crop failure rates.
