abstract in this study, evaluation of swap model in simulating crop yield, water and salt movement in soil were investigated in the wheat- fodder maize cultivated units. the research was conducted in the voshmgir network, golestan province. the crop yield, soil humidity and moisture data in different times of agriculture year of 2007-2008 were measured. the measured and simulated data were anal...

A robust crop model can assist in genetic improvement and cultural management of the crop. The objectives of this study were to describe a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) model and to report results of its evaluation. The model simulates phenological development, leaf development and senescence, crop mass production and partitioning, plant nitrogen balance, yield formation and soil water and ...

the need for more comparisons among models is widely recognized. this study aimed to compare three different modelling approaches for their capability to simulate and predict trends and patterns of winter wheat yield in western germany. the three modelling approaches included an empirical model, a process-based model (lintul2), and a metamodel derived from the process-based model. the models ou...

assessment of agricultural drought risk at critical times before and during the growing season can provide sufficient time to policy makers and farmers to implement appropriate strategies to reduce the potential of risk. the purpose followed in the present study is to develop a statistical model to estimate the quality of agricultural drought risk for rainfed barley crop (prior to planting and ...

Better irrigation management and more efficient management of crop production require modeling of plant growth and crop yield. More applicable models are usually simple and requires less and accessible inputs. The objective of this study was to develop a model for growth and yield prediction of saffron under various irrigation regimes. In this modeling soil water budget and other simple rel...

wofost is a crop growth simulation model which can simulate crop growth and yield components of annual crops dynamically in the various stages of growth period. some parts of the model outputs (crop yield and crop water requirements) can be used in irrigation planning and management of water resources. in this study, a field research was carried out in a randomized complete block design with th...

crop simulation models are mathematical representations of plant growth processes as influenced by interactions among genotype, environment and crop management. using crop simulation models can be an efficient complement to experimental research. models are being used to understand the response of crops to possible changes in crop, cultural management and environmental variables.while there are...

this paper shows the role of the general dynamic model in empirical research of production technology in agriculture. the model is a first order autoregressive multivariate specification, first developed by anderson and blundell. this model is general enough to nest several simpler dynamic as well as static models within it. therefore, it provides a framework for applying classical testing ...

The Crop Growth Monitoring System (CGMS) has been applied for spatial biophysical resource analysis of Borkhar & Meymeh district in Esfahan province, Iran. The potentially suitable area for agriculture in the district has been divided into 128 homogeneous land units in terms of soil (physical characteristics), weather and administrative unit. Crop parameters required in the WOFOST simulatio...
