[ 1 ] - Parametrizing Simple Model between Yield and Evapotranspiration for Amaranthus cruentus under Drip and Sprinkler Irrigations
Amaranthus cruentus, an annual vegetable crop, is known to be highly productive under rain-fed conditions and during the dry season when supplied with water. However, for good water management, there is need to accurately quantify the water consumed by the crop. This paper investigates the water use and biomass yield of differentially irrigated Amaranthus cruentus at different developmental sta...
[ 2 ] - Calibration and validation of a soil water simulation model (WaSim) for field grown Amaranthus cruentus
A water simulation model (WaSim) to simulate the growth and development of Amaranthus cruentus as well as the components of water balance for a typical sandy-clay-loam soil of Akure has been described. Dry season experiments were carried between January and March of 2005 and 2006. Amaranthus seeds were established on the field and three irrigation water managements were imposed on the crop to d...
