Researches on the water-saving techniques in agriculture should be brought forward because of water resources shortages. The optimisation irrigation strategies to increase water-use efficiency is an important factor security for region. AquaCrop model based FAO’s crop productivity used simulate yield. In our study, was calibrated field measurements MATE ÖVKI Lysimeter Research Station. Four win...

In this study, the growth periods of summer maize were divided into seedling, booting and flowering-grain stage. Based on simulation results AquaCrop model, drought loss sensitivity in different was analyzed. The curves fitting using soil moisture content effective root zone fixed layer both indicated that stage most sensitive to water stress, which critical period for irrigation, followed by s...

A quantitative understanding of yield response to water and nutrients is key to improving the productivity and sustainability of rainfed cropping systems. Here, we quantified the effects of rainfall, fertilization (NPK) and soil organic amendments (with straw and manure) on yields of a rainfed wheat-soybean system in the North China Plain (NCP), using 30-years' field experimental data (1982-201...

Abstract Sugar demand in Indonesia is still increasing although its productivity remains low due to several constraints. Water scarcity also plays significant role on decreasing sugarcane production Indonesia. Improved methods are strongly required be applied by farmers as climate-smart strategies, for instance drip irrigation and organic mulching. AquaCrop a modelling software which useful sim...

Field experiments were conducted in 2005-2006 and 2007-2008 and the data were used tocalibrate and validate yield and biomass of AquaCrop Model for canola (Brassica napus l.). Themodel was calibrated with the first year and then was validated with the second year data. Fivewater stress treatments at different growth stages were performed including fully irrigatedduring whole growing period (I1)...
