Field evaluation of a water use model for potatoes

Field evaluation of a water use model for potatoes

A water use model for potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) was calibrated and tested. The model requires phenological relationships for estimating emergence, degree of crop cover and rooting depth. These weather-driven crop growth functions were previously calibrated using field data from 1994 and 1995....

Zusammenfassung:A water use model for potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) was calibrated and tested. The model requires phenological relationships for estimating emergence, degree of crop cover and rooting depth. These weather-driven crop growth functions were previously calibrated using field data from 1994 and 1995. In this paper, the model was tested using field data from the 1996 growing season at two locations. The 1996 crop growth parameters were estimated fairly accurately. This contributed to reasonably accurate (average bias
