Water, Agriculture and Irrigation Simulation for CROPS
Guidelines:
Total questions to answer: 7
Data Analysis/Calculations
It is very important that the writer is familiar with Aquacrop software or any other crop modeling software. If not the writer must be able to read, follow and understand the instructions very well.
To answer attachment 2-2 Aquacrop Assignment Questions you must first do the following:
1. Install Aquacrop software (it is free)
2. Setup files on Aquacrop (instructions on attachment 1-1) take few minutes.
3. Make sure you take screen shots and safe each completed simulation screen, because the questions you will be answering will based the simulation.
4. Lastly, answer the attached question sheet.
AquaCrop is the FAO crop-model to simulate yield response to water of several herbaceous crops. It is designed to balance simplicity, accuracy and robustness, and is particularly suited to address conditions where water is a key limiting factor in crop production. AquaCrop includes yield prediction under climate change scenarios. The new practical exercise is accompanied by a step-by-step solution. [The exercise] [The solution] [Aquacrop Website]
