Determining the yield responses of maize plant under different irrigation scenarios with AquaCrop model

Abstract

The AquaCrop simulation model is a significant implementation used to determine the response of crop yield to water and accordingly build up new strategies to improve agricultural irrigation management. Since determining the appropriate irrigation program in the field researches will require many years and labor; it becomes convenient with the AquaCrop to determine the adaptation of crops to the cultivating conditions and to examine the impact of possible variables such as drought on crop production.
