The sowing date and density are considered to be the main factors affecting crop yield. determination of density, however, is fraught with uncertainty due influence climatic conditions, topography, variety other factors. Therefore, it necessary find a comprehensive consideration these guide production winter rapeseed. A reliable model could crucial tool investigate response rapeseed growth chan...

This research proposes A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK based on model predictive control (MPC) for irrigation control to minimize both root zone soil moisture deficit (RZSMD) and irrigation amount under a limited water supply. We (i) investigate means to incorporate direct measurements to MPC (ii) introduce two Robust MPC techniques e Certainty Equivalence control (CE) and Disturbance Affine Feedback C...

Currently, the AquaCrop model has been widely tested for many fruit/grain crops; root and tuber leafy vegetables, or forage crops, but is restricted to annual herbaceous species, while deciduous crops have received less if no attention. In this context, study aims test first time ability of simulate canopy cover (CC), actual evapotranspiration (ETa), total soil water content (TWC), biomass (B) ...

Increasing scarcity and unreliability of rainfall, the absence irrigation schedules are challenges to decision-making, particularly for viable tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) production in Zimbabwe. The objective this study was determine water requirements as a basis developing generic calendar guidelines more efficient management Harare, We explored options improving traditional, dry sup...
