Topics • FAO crop-model to simulate yield response to water
 
 
New major features of AquaCrop 3.1 include:
  • Multiple-years run for cropping pattern (e.g., rotations) and long-term investigations;
  • Simplified crop-characteristics menu, with distinction between two levels of crop parameters (basic; full set);
  • Improved description of the Harvest Index build-up for the different crop types;
  • Possibility of saving any irrigation variable (net irrigation water requirement; irrigation schedule; and generation of irrigation schedule);
  • Inclusion of two new crops: Sunflower and Tomato.

AquaCrop is the FAO crop-model to simulate yield response to water of several herbaceous crops. It is designed to balance simplicity, accuracy and robustness, and is particularly suited to address conditions where water is a key limiting factor in crop production. AquaCrop is a companion tool for a wide range of users and applications including yield prediction under climate change scenarios.
