| The performance of the CROPGRO-Drybean model for the prediction of soil water balance, as well as growth components and bean crop yield, was assessed using data from two field experiments conducted at the State University of Maringá Iirrigation Technical Center, Paraná, Brazil, (latitude 23°27'S, longitude 51°57' and altitude 542 m) during the 2005 and 2006 growing seasons. This assessment aimed to analyze growth components, evapotranspiration and bean crop yield for the edaphoclimatic conditions of the area as simulated by the CROPGRO-Drybean model. This is a model for legumes, and it is grouped in a Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transference (DSSAT). The model simulates growth, development and yield components of beans as a... |
