Simulation of Crop Productivity for Guinea Grass (Megathyrsus maximus) Using AquaCrop under Different Water Regimes

Abstract: The perennial herbaceous forage crops’ (PHFC) biomass as bioindustry feedstock or source of nutrients for ruminants is very important from their final utilization point of view. In 2022, the AquaCrop-FAO version 7.0 model has been opened for PHFC. In this context, this study aimed to test for the first time the ability of the AquaCrop-FAO model to simulate canopy cover (CC), total available soil water (TAW), and biomass (B) of Guinea grass (Megathyrsus maximus cv. Agrosavia sabanera) under different water regi… Show more

“…Therefore, recent studies have begun to investigate within-field relationships using satellitederived vegetation indices, paving the way for integrating grassland monitoring into precision agriculture practices [7][8][9][10]. Several established models have been successfully modified for grass application, such as ALMANAC, CROPGRO-PFM Perennial Forage of DSSAT, the AgPasture model integrated within the APSIM package, and the AquaCrop model [11]. The main reason for choosing the AquaCrop model for predicting grasslands lies in the critical role of soil and climate data in biomass estimation.…”
