In the current study, various deficit irrigation strategies of corn were considered using Stochastic Dominance Criteria in Zarghan region of Fars. Results showed that optimum deficit irrigation strategy, based on the corn yield and gross margin is on the second and fourth corn growth stages. In the conditions of limited water and land, risk taker and averse farmers showed different behavior in choosing cultivated area in each deficit irrigation plans. In 10 percent deficit irrigation in second and fourth corn growth stages, risk averse farmer devoted the highest cultivated area and the risk taker farmer in 5 percent deficit irrigation in fourth corn growth stages.
