A Regional Version of the Aquacrop Model Evaluated with Satellite Retrievals and Backscatter Data
2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021 The current intensive use of agricultural land forces a shift to more sustainable methods of crop production. Future crop demands are expected to rise due to a strong increase in population and prosperity, and the uncertainty in crop yields is expected to increase because of changing climatic conditions.

Coping with drought for food security in Tigray, Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2011 Agricultural production in drylands suffers from drought and in sub-Saharan Africa, only about 15% of the terrestrial rainwater is used by plants for food, fodder and fiber.

AquaCrop simulation for weed-infested fields
, 2016 Weed infestation is a major yield reducing factor that also decreases crop water productivity. Yet, weeds are often neglected in crop productivity simulation studies, because existing empirical equations and mechanistic models are not widely applicable ...

Modeling Irrigation Efficiency Paradox From Farmers' Behaviors
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Agricultural irrigation accounts for 70% of global freshwater withdrawals, highlighting its critical role in water conservation. However, numerous studies have presented the irrigation efficiency paradox, whereby increased efficiency rarely reduces water consumption.

Aquacrop, crop water productivity model [PDF]
, 2018 Intended for agricultural researchers and stakeholders, “Aquacrop” is a crop water productivity model developed and distributed by FAO since 2009. By evaluating different parameters, it enables yields to be improved in an environment where water is ...

Sensitivity Analysis of Aquacrop Model for Barley in Pakdasht Region [PDF]
علوم آب و خاک, 2019 In recent years, a lot of research has been done on the Aquacrop model, the results show that this model simulates the product performance for deficit irrigation conditions. But this model, like other models, is sensitive to values of independent variables (model inputs).

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Due to the increased intensity and frequency of droughts under a warming world, agricultural irrigation demand (AID) is likely to increase in many regions of the world—not just in semi‐arid and arid regions, but also in temperate regions. Small reservoirs have often been touted as a decentralized solution to increase water supply resilience ...

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Climate change impacts on water resources and drought characteristics will significantly affect regional agricultural water security. To clarify the response mechanism of water consumption and drought, this study coupled meteorological data from CMIP6 under two shared socioeconomic pathways in China.

Journal of Soil Sciences and Agricultural Engineering, 2020 The study aimed to evaluate the performance of the Food and Agriculture Organization "AquaCrop" model (version 6.1) in simulating the productivity and biomass of wheat crops in old lands under the surface irrigation system. Field data for the period from 2013- 2016 were used to calibrate the model's through matching productivity and biomass observed ...
