A review of available pesticide leaching models: Selection of models for simulation of herbicide fate in Finnish sugar beet cultivation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quality of simulation results depends on the model structure and its parameterisation. The aim of this study was to fi nd the best available models for herbicide fate simulation for Finnish conditions. Subjective model selection criteria were developed for the simulation domain: pesticide fate in Finnish sugar beet cultivation. An inventory was made of available models and a number of different pesticide and solute transport models were identifi ed. Thirteen one-dimensional deterministic models (CRACK-NP, EPIC, GLEAMS, LEACHP, MACRO, OPUS, PELMO, PEARL, PESTLA, PLM, PRZM, RZWQM and SIMULAT) were compared and evaluated for their characteristics. The comparison showed that none of these models fulfi lled all of the desired criteria. Finally, MACRO 4.1 and GLEAMS 3.0 were selected for herbicide fate simulations. The other high regarded models were RZWQM, PEARL and PELMO.

The rapid population growth and the need for more agricultural production necessitate more attention to water shortage and enhancing water productivity. To assess water productivity and supply:demand ratio index in sugar beet, this experiment was carried out using SUCROS growth simulation model. Long-term climatic data and collecting questionnaires from farmers were used to assessing water prod...
متن کاملAssessment of AquaCrop, WOFOST and CropSyst models for Estimating Sugar Beet Yield under Water Deficit Conditions
Sugar beet is one of the most important agricultural crops and its yield depends on irrigation water. Due to the impossibility of assessing the effect of all water amount strategies on sugar beet yield, it is necessary to use crop models such as WOFOST, AquaCrop and Cropsyst. In order to achieve this goal, a set of data collected from Shahrekord’s Agricultural Research Station were used. Treatm...

متن کاملQualitative characteristics of sugar beet as affected by different broadleaf herbicides combinations
ABSTRACT-Several herbicides are registered for selective weed control in sugar beet; however, no single chemical herbicide can control all weeds in beet fields. Frequently, two or more herbicides may have to be combined sequentially or as tank mixed to achieve adequate broad-spectrum weed control. In order to evaluate the effects of some combinations of broadleaf herbicides on sugar beet yield ...
