Simulating Cassava Growth and Yield under Potential Conditions in Southern Brazil

Abstract: Cassava [Manihot esculenta (L.) Crantz] plays an important role as staple food in the tropics. The GUMCAS model is a process-based dynamic simulation model for cassava that has been adapted to the Cropping System Model (CSM) framework of DSSAT (DSSAT-CSM). The objective of this study was to calibrate and evaluate the original GUMCAS model, a modified version of the GUMCAS model, and the current cassava model in DSSAT under potential conditions in the subtropical environment of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. … Show more

“…The experimental design in Santa Vitória do Palmar and in Uruguaiana was randomized blocks with 4 replicates. In Santa Maria and Cachoerinha, there was no experimental design and samplings were performed according to the methodology described by Gabriel et al (2014).…”

“…Dentre essas variáveis, uma variável de desenvolvimento foliar geralmente quantificada é o filocrono, que é o intervalo de tempo entre o aparecimento de duas folhas sucessivas na haste de uma planta (Wilhelm & McMaster, 1995), e uma variável de crescimento importante é o índice de área foliar (IAF). Além disso, essas variáveis de crescimento e desenvolvimento são importantes em outras aplicações como, por exemplo, para a calibração de novas cultivares em modelos agrícolas baseados em processos, como o modelo de mandioca GUMCAS modificado (Gabriel et al, 2014).…”

“…The simulation model for cassava cropping proposed in this study, named "Simanihot" ("Si" for Simulator, and "manihot" for cassava's scientific name "Manihot esculenta Crantz L."), is originated from the GUMCAS model proposed by MATTHEWS & HUNT (1994) and modified by GABRIEL et al (2014). The main changes were a third developmental clock simulating the beginning of tuberization, a nonlinear model for leaf appearance rate, and a sensitivity coefficient that affects leaf senescence at a great proportion at minimum air temperatures equal to or lower than 5 ºC.…”

“…The performance of the model with the independent data (Table 1) was assessed by running the Simanihot model three times with water balance deactivated and three times activated (one round with each water balance model). Performance was evaluated using the root of the mean square error (RMSE), BIAS index, correlation coefficient (r), agreement index (dw), and model efficiency (EF) (GABRIEL et al, 2014).…”
