The goal of traditional irrigation is to provide proper moisture for crops and to get the highest yield per unit area. However, on background of water deficits and associated economics in the arid desert regions of Northern Xinjiang, relations between water input and crop yield have become a hot topic. In this study, insufficient irrigation test was carried out in the northern region, and the yields of alfalfa, Sudan grass and silage corn were analyzed under different soil water conditions, and the water production function model of these artificial grasslands was determined; meanwhile, the water sensitivity index or coefficient for alfalfa, Sudan grass and silage corn in each growth stage was calculated by using Jensen model, Stewart model and Jensen model, respectively. The test results showed that the models had a high precision, and the average relative errors for alfalfa, Sudan grass and silage corn were 6.51%, 9.24% and 9.25%, respectively. The research results can provide theoretical and technical support for the rational development of limited water and soil resources in Altay grassland and pasture of Xinjiang.
