CWB_FixedSchedule: Crop Water Balance Accounting With Fixed Time Periods for Irrigation

Description

Calculates several parameters of the crop water balance. It also suggests how much irrigation to apply.

Usage

CWB_FixedSchedule(
  Rain,
  ET0,
  AWC,
  Drz,
  Kc = NULL,
  Irrig = NULL,
  MAD = NULL,
  InitialD = 0,
  Scheduling,
  start.date
)

Value

Water balance accounting, including the soil water deficit.

Arguments

Rain

Vector, 1-column matrix or data frame with daily rainfall totals in millimetres.

ET0

Vector, 1-column matrix or data frame with daily reference evapotranspiration in millimetres.

AWC

Vector, 1-column matrix or data frame with the available water capacity of the soil, that is: the amount of water between field capacity and permanent wilting point in millimetres of water per metres of soil.

Drz

Vector, 1-column matrix or data frame defining the root zone depth in metres.

Kc

Vector, 1-column matrix or data frame defining the crop coefficient. If NULL its values are assumed to be 1.

Irrig

Vector, 1-column matrix or data frame with net irrigation amount infiltrated into the soil for the current day in millimetres.

MAD

Vector, 1-column matrix or data frame defining the management allowed depletion. Varies between 0 and 1.

InitialD

Single number defining in millimetre, the initial soil water deficit. It is used to start the water balance accounting. Default value is zero, which assumes the root zone is at the field capacity.

Scheduling

Single integer number defining the number of days between two consecutive irrigations.

start.date

Date at which the accounting should start. Formats: “YYYY-MM-DD”, “YYYY/MM/DD”.
