Field Management
Water Management
• Fertility level (non-limiting; moderate; poor)
• Field-surface practices (mulching; soil bunds)
Rainfed
• User defined schedule (timing and depth)
• Model-generated schedule (fixed interval; fixed depth; % of RAW) • Irrigation method (drip; sprinkler; surface » basin; border; furrow)

Soil information demand • Texture of different layers along the profile
• Derivation of FC, PWP & Ksat from pedo- transfer functions or measurements
• Status of soil fertility (CEC, OM, others)
• Presence of impermeable, or other constraining, layers
• Information on depth and underlying geology, for drainage and deep percolation inferences
•Main scientific publications 2009
Crops dealt by AquaCrop
• Wheat • Maize • Rice • Sugarbeet • Soybean • Cotton • Potato • Quinoa • Sunflower • Bambara groundnut
• Sugarcane • Tomato • Teff • Barley • Sorghum
• Forage crops (Alfalfa)
• Millet • Chickpea • Cassava • Amaranths • Sweet potato
Already calibrated
For the near future
NO TREE CROPS
