Examination of Sugarcane Yield by Simulating Aqua Crop to Overcome the Irrigation Deficiency

Abstract

Crop simulation models are significant apparatus used for measuring crop yield response to various conditions, also designed for conceiving systems to get better agricultural administration. Sugarcane is a major C4 crop grown in canal irrigated areas of the country. It has been observed that climatic distortions particularly precipitation and greatest temperature affect crop productivity and sugar recovery. AquaCrop is a typical model used here to develop the yield of sugarcane under different situations. The development of canopy cover is mainly affected by evapotranspiration and lacking of soil water balance. So the prime objective of this research is to study the stability of soil water in the root sector by delivering more cane yields with less water. By using AquaCrop, the crop water productivity can be maintained, canopy cover gets developed and finally the crops can be saved from destruction. It is an incorporated application programming to mimic the associations between plant, water and soil. So, field administration and water system administration should be considered for producing more water productivity. Four basic segments are required in this model namely climate, crop, field and irrigation management and soil profiles to expand the water efficiency.

Simulating Water Balance and Crop Yield for Sugarcane Plantation in Pasuruan Using Aquacrop Model

“…AquaCrop Model AquaCrop model has been widely used to simulate water balance and crops yields under certain conditions, e.g. field management or climate change (Revathy and Balamurali, 2019;Alvar-Beltrán, et al, 2021). It is also useful for modelling water footprint of certain crops production (Yesilkoy and Saylan, 2020).…”

Real Water Savings of Simulated Irrigation Methods and Farm Managements in Sugarcane: Case Study in Malang Regency

“…Relation of this agricultural water management in terms of production and water use can be simulated by AquaCrop. It is a model commonly used to simulate and analyze the water balance, crop yields, and water productivity of crops under certain managements [4,5]. It may also be used to calculate the water footprint of certain crops [6].…”
