OPTIMAL CROP PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT MODEL UNDER THE VARIATION OF WATER AVAILABILITY

Evapotranspiration and Water Management for Crop Production

Optimal crop management can reduce energy use and greenhouse gases emissions in rainfed canola production

Energy use and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in rainfed canola production in north eastern Iran were analyzed to find measures to reduce energy use and GHG emissions. Four production scenarios, i.e. a high-input, a low-input, a better crop management and a usual scenario, evaluated. All activities and production processes were monitored and recorded over three consecutive years. The usua...

A modified optimal stomatal conductance model under water-stressed condition

Accurate estimation of leaf stomatal conductance (gs) is important in predicting carbon andwater cycles of terrestrial ecosystem. To estimate gs on field-grown soybean and maize underwater-stressed condition accurately, a modified optimal stomatal conductance (OSCM) modelwas established based on the relationship between marginal water cost of carbon gain and soilwater content by introducing a w...

Evaluation of Aqua Crop Computer Model in the Potato Under Irrigation Management of Continuity Plan of Jiroft Region, Kerman, Iran

The agricultural regions are running into difficulties, which are restrictive availability of water, successive appearing draughts, and overuse of ground water resources for supplemental water requirements. As a sample which is got from the farm is sent to the laboratory for testing and the laboratory works need devices. Hence, conducting farm experiments are expensive and time consuming to opt...
