Autores: Ezekiel, Oiganji; Igbadun, H. E.; Mudiare, O.J.; Oyebode, M.A.
Farmers in the northern Guinea Savannah ecological zone of Nigeria have been experiencing declining crop yield due to erratic water supply. In recent times, research on better water management and interaction between effects of climate, soil and field management on crop production is fast gaining grounds with the use of models. Models can be used to predict the impact of long-term climate variability, thus providing an opportunity of better techniques compared with the traditional multi-location trials. This study presents the calibration and validation of AquaCrop model for drip irrigated maize (Zea mays). Calibration was done using data of 2013, while validation across seasons was done with data of 2014. The modelling efficiency of grain yield, biomass...

Development of deficit irrigation for maize crop under drip irrigation in samaru-nigeria
Provedor de dados: 111
Autores: Ezekiel, Oiganji.
In the past, outcome of any water management strategy could only be known after field experiment, in recent times, means of evaluating the implications of irrigation schedules without field experiment is fast gaining grounds with the use of models.  This research work present a scenarios studies for different developed irrigation scheduling options for a drip irrigated maize crop at the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR) irrigation farm Samaru-Nigeria during 2013 and 2014 cropping season using a computer-based model.  Aqua Crop was calibrated and validated with data obtained from the field, it was further used to generate scenario of different irrigation scheduling outcome. Grain and biomass yields, harvest index, seasonal evapotranspiration and...
