Synopsis (short abstract) The recommended values provided for the crop parameters in the tables below represent estimates obtained in calibration/validation exercises of AquaCrop with experimental data. How good these estimates are depends on how extensive and thorough were the calibration and validation, and varies with the crop species listed. The experimental data used for a crop might have been taken in one to many locations, with or without water and temperature as limiting factors, and representing a few to many ye ars of experiments. The notes and symbols before each table provide indications of the thoroughness of the calibration/validation process with respect to optimal and water stress conditions, as well as with respect to the coverage of major production areas of that crop around the world. Note that if a crop is important in many geographical areas, even if testing with data from four or five diverse locations would not be considered thorough, whereas testing with data from three locations for a cr op limited to one geographical area may be considered as adequate.
