AquaCrop: FAO's crop water productivity and yield response model
With the help of relatively few conservative crop parameters, AquaCrop simulates final crop yield in four steps that are easy to understand, which makes the modeling approach transparent. The steps consist in the simulation of development of the green crop canopy cover, crop transpiration, above-ground biomass, and final crop yield.

Evaluating the Efficiency of AquaCrop Model for Corn Plant Underwater and Fertilizer Management (Case study: Shush city) [PDF]
Today, optimizing water consumption is one of the main priorities of agriculture. If on-farm water management is improved, water use efficiency will also increase. Farm water management can be done optimally with the help of simulation models.

Comparison of Virtual Water Amount and Sugarcane Consumption in Water Shortage Conditions of Khuzestan Region, Iran [PDF]
This study aimed to assess the virtual water of sugarcane under two irrigation scenarios in the Khuzestan province of Iran. The first scenario (S1) reflected current water consumption conditions in sugarcane fields, while the second scenario (S2 ...

Simulation of alfalfa yield with AquaCrop
The AquaCrop simulation model, originally designed for annual crops, is expanded here to simulate alfalfa, a perennial forage crop. A new routine was added to the model to mimic the assimilate partitioning between above and below-ground plant parts to account for the utilization of reserves in Spring and for their storage in the Fall. The simulation of

AquaCrop parametrisation for quinoa in arid environments
The resilience of quinoa to drought stress conditions makes the crop suitable for the Sahel region. It can support grain production during the dry season and be considered an alternative crop for alleviating food insecurity within the region. Given the importance of this crop outside the indigenous cultivation area, there is a requisite for the ...
