Required Input for Simulations with AquaCrop

Synopsis (short abstract) This document describes the input required for simulations with AquaCrop. AquaCrop uses a relative small number of explicit parameters and largely intuitive input variables. Those are either widely available or require just simple methods for their determination. Input consists of weather data, crop and soil characteristics, and management practices that define the environment in which the crop will develop.

    This handbook is a training tool to learn how to run AquaCrop. AquaCrop is a crop water productivity model developed by the Land and Water Division of FAO to address food security and to assess the effect of environment and management on crop production. AquaCrop simulates yield response to water of herbaceous crops, and is particularly suited to address conditions where water is a key limiting factor in crop production.

    AquaCropPlotter is a tool designed to facilitate the analysis and visualization of data from AquaCrop (version 6 and 7), the crop-water productivity model developed by FAO. AquaCropPlotter provides a simple interface for users to upload and process output data files from AquaCrop simulations to generate meaningful plots and simple statistical analysis. This tool aims to streamline data processing to allow users to gain insight into complex data without requiring computing background.

    AquaCrop is a crop simulation model which describes the interactions between the plant and the soil. FAO developed AquaCrop to address food security and to assess the effect of environment and management on crop production . AquaCrop can be used as a planning tool or to assist in management decisions for both irrigated and rainfed agriculture. AquaCrop is particularly useful:
    • to understand the crop response to environmental changes (educational tool);
    • to compare attainable and actual yields in a field, farm, or a region;
    • to identify constraints limiting crop production and water productivity
    • as a benchmarking tool to develop strategies to maximise water productivity
    • to optimize crop and management practices;
    • to study the effect of climate change on food production over time
    • for policy and for planning purposes.
