AquaCrop standard window program (version 3.1+)

The standard window AquaCrop 3.1+ program does not contain new features, but only updates of the following calculation procedures:

  • Effect of limited soil fertility on the length of the growing cycle;
  • Effect of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration on crop water productivity (WP);
  • Simulation of soil evaporation when rainfall is specified as 10-day and monthly totals;
  • Assessment of net irrigation requirement when the top soil is very dry at the moment of crop germination.

New AquaCrop plug-in program (version 3.1+)

 The calculation procedures in the AquaCrop plug-in program are identical to the AquaCrop standard window program but the program has no user interface. By running the plug-in program a list of projects, pre-defined in the standard window version of AquaCrop, are carried out and results are stored in output files. The plug-in program can be used in applications where iterative runs are required (e.g. GIS environment).

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.
