Abstract
A dynamic model of corn yield response to daily available soil moisture is presented. Using a priori information on dry matter accumulation in the plant when water is not limiting and using spline regression, we estimate the function of crop response to soil moisture from experimental test plot data. With the estimated model we simulate the corn yields for various irrigation schedules. The simulations demonstrate the sensitivity of the model to the timing of irrigations.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
