Crop models are useful tools for integrating knowledge of biophysical processes governing the plant-soil-atmosphere system. But few of them are easily usable for water and yield management especially under specific cropping systems such as direct seeding. Direct seeding into mulch (DSM) is an...

The main objectives of this study were to assess and partition soybean evapotranspiration and modelling to predict yields. The SIMDualKc water balance model, that adopts the dual crop coefficient approach, was used to evaluate the transpiration and soil evaporation components. Transpiration...

Good management of water in agriculture is essential in semiarid areas, as irrigation is the main user of a scarce resource. The present paper analyses the water use and the quality of irrigation in LASESA (LD), a mature sprinkler irrigation district of the Ebro valley, NE Spain, during the...

Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the North China Plain (NCP) is threatened by insufficient water supply. Interest in microirrigation is increasing in the NCP, while data and guidance for microirrigation scheduling are lacking. An accurate estimation of actual crop...

Uncertainty analysis can provide useful insights into the sources and effects of uncertainty for decision makers to achieve the goals of reliability and sustainability in water management. This study presents parameters uncertainty of a physically based soil–water–atmosphere–plant (SWAP)...
