Abstract: Research has evaluated the relative profitability of variable-rate versus uniform-rate

variable-rate decision for multiple inputs. The decision-making framework is evaluated for
nitrogen and water applied to irrigated cotton in fields with three management zones.
Keywords: Breakeven analysis, cotton, economic feasibility, multiple inputs, precision farming,
