GALLARDO BALLAT, Yurisbel  y  BROWN MANRIQUE, Oscar. Estimacion del impacto economico de la sequia agricola en el cultivo de maizEstimating the economic impact of agricultural drought in maize crop. Rev. cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2016, n.26, suppl.1, pp.53-58. ISSN 1851-7587.

An investigation was conducted to determine the economic impact caused by agricultural drought in maize cultivation in the municipality of Venezuela. Three precipitation scenarios were established: dry, normal and rainy as well as their respective level of impacts (low, medium and high) that the crop can be subjected to under rainfed conditions. In this research, a risk matrix method was used as a fundamental tool for determining financial gains and losses, considering seeding planning and the phenological cycle. The results showed that it is possible to predict the benefits and economic losses from defined scenarios and get corn yields under these conditions for normal and rainy scenarios with good gross profits.
