Popis: The unpredictable and serious water constraint to erop produetion in the semiarid tropics poses a eonsiderable challenge to the design of improved plant types. In this paper, simulation models of the eontrasting crops, sorghum, maize and kenaf, and long-term climatie data were used to assess the value, in terms of both yie1d and risk, of different plant designs at a semiarid site in northern Australia.
