Abstract: An economic production function was derived in an analysis of water application to corn by phonological time periods. The quantities of use of water by growth periods as delineated by physical stages were tested for influence on final output of dry matter and grain. Several years' data for three locations were utilized. The results tend to confirm the conceptual models and previous work in this type of analysis. Certain periods of growth were more critical than others.
