The AquaCrop model

FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) launched in 2009 the dynamic crop growth model “AquaCrop” to predict yield response to water of herbaceous crops. After a brief description of the calculation scheme and the input requirements, the chapter discusses the parametrization of AquaCrop for crops and the simulation of the ...

Irrigation Scheduling Optimization for Cotton Based on the AquaCrop Model

Water Resources Management, 2018
To improve irrigation efficiency, it is important to optimize agriculture irrigation scheduling. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the AquaCrop model for its ability to simulate cotton in the North China Plain and optimize irrigation strategies. The AquaCrop model was calibrated using 2002–2009 data and validated using 2010–2014 data.

AquaCrop assets and regional applications

AquaCrop is a relatively simple crop model with a wide range of applications at the point, field, and regional to continental scales. Its four main assets, distributed by FAO (https://www.fao.org/aquacrop/en/), are: (i) the standard program with a graphical user interface (GUI), (ii) the open-source version-controlled Fortran90 code available on GitHub,

Simulating Yield Response of Quinoa to Water Availability with AquaCrop

Agronomy Journal, 2009
The modeling of yield response to water is expected to play an increasingly important role in the optimization of crop water productivity (WP) in agriculture. During 3 yr (2004–2007), field experiments were conducted to assess the crop response to water stress of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) in the Bolivian Altiplano (4000 masl) under different ...

Calibration and validation of AquaCrop for pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum)

Crop & Pasture Science, 2016
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.) is widely grown in some of the driest regions of the world, mainly drier tropics. Although it is easy to cultivate under semi-arid and arid regions, it still responds very favourably to slight improvements in growing conditions such as supplementary irrigation.

Validating the FAO AquaCrop Model for Rainfed Maize in Pennsylvania

Agronomy Journal, 2013
It is widely known that a close relationship exists between crop production and water stress. In this study, field‐measured data were used to test the performance of AquaCrop and its ability to capture this relationship for rainfed maize (Zea mays L.) in Pennsylvania.

Aquacrops of Darbhanga District in north Bihar and their commercial significance

1995
Darbhanga district in North Bihar is characterised by thick alluvial soil, moderately good rainfall, high humidity, ample sunshine and numerous water resources in the form of perennial rivers, tributaries, streams, lakes, ponds, pools and puddles. The aquacrops of this district include several species of commercially important fishes, aquatic cash ...
