With the ability to monitor soil moisture in time comes the opportunity to develop ways to incorporate these measurements into predictive models, without compromising or overriding the model physics. The importance of soil moisture to the growth of crops is well understood and because of this it is recognized as one of the more important parts of crop modeling programs. This research focused on...

Rice is one of the major crops in China, and enhancing rice yield water use efficiency critical to ensuring food security China. Determining how optimize a scientific efficient irrigation drainage scheme by combining existing technology currently hot topic. Crop growth models can be used assess actual or proposed management regimes intended increase mitigate shortages. In this study, CERES-Rice...


 The CROPGRO-pigeonpea model embedded in DSSAT v4.7.5 was used to assess the impact of climate change on phenology and grain yield reference genotype different pigeonpea maturity groups. delayed reproductive stages (anthesis, maturity) decreased groups were evident all scenarios. Short duration genotypes (MN5, ICPL88039, Prabhat, UPAS120) showed progressively higher decrease as compared m...
