Abstract. Global soil water availability is challenged by the effects of climate change and a growing population. On average, 70 % freshwater extraction attributed to agriculture, demand increasing. In this study, on evolution irrigation requirement sustain current crop productivity are assessed using Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) growth model AquaCrop version 6.1. The run at 0.5?lat×0.5?...

The contradiction between water demand and supply in the Yellow River Delta restricts corn yield region. It is of great significance to formulate reasonable irrigation strategies alleviate regional use improve yield. Based on typical hydrological years (wet year, normal dry year), this study used coupling model AquaCrop, multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-III), TOPSIS-Entropy established u...

Modeling of irrigation methods is one the most important techniques that contribute to future modern agriculture. This will conserve water as scarcity a major threat for In this study, AquaCrop model was used different maize in field trails Al-Yousifya, 15 km Southwest Baghdad. Field experiments were conducted two seasons during 2016 and 2017 using five including furrow, surface drip subsurface...
