Calibration and Validation of Aquacrop for Hot Pepper (Legon 18) Irrigation | Chapter 6 | Research Advances and Challenges in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 1

This paper presents the verdicts of a study that aimed to measure and test the performance of AquaCrop in envisioning crop yield and seasonal water necessities for hot pepper (Legon 18) education in a tropical moist coastal grassland zone in on west side when facing north-central Ghana (Capote Coast). The study examined four situations: T1 (100% ETc), T2 (90% ETc), T3 (80% ETc), and T4 (70% ETc). While AquaCrop was unable to correctly simulate the yield of hot red pepper (Legon 18) for all treatments, it acted show a low departure of 4% for Treatment T2. Nevertheless, the model was able to correctly predict the migratory water requirements for two together experiments. It should be famous that the calibration of AquaCrop was hindered by a lack of dossier on crop canopy cover, that is a crucial limit in the model's development.
