Input requirements

AquaCrop uses a relatively small number of explicit parameters and largely intuitive input variables that are either widely available or can be determined using simple methods. Inputs consist of weather data, crop and soil characteristics, and management practices that define the environment in which the crop will develop. The model divides soil characteristics into soil profile and groundwater characteristics, and categorizes management practices as either field management or irrigation management practices (see figure below).
