Crop Models Help Increase Yield Per Unit Of Water Used

Monday, May 4, 2009 - 11:35 in Earth & Climate

In regions with limited water resources, maximizing crop water productivity is important for producing high yields. A new computer model, AquaCrop, was developed as a way to predict crop water use efficiency, as traditional methods tend to overestimate or underestimate this measure under conditions of water stress.
