Calibration and Verification of the AquaCrop Model in Simulating the Yield, Dry Matter and Water Productivity of Grain Corn (Zea mays L.) under Different Irrigation Methods and Nit... by zhaleh zarei, Hassan Heidari, Saeid Jalali Honarmand, Ali Bafkar

“…For both stages of calibration and validation of the model, the measured (observed) and simulated values of yield, biomass, canopy cover, and water productivity were compared and statistically analyzed. For statistical evaluation, root mean square error (RMSE), efficiency coefficient of the Nash-Sutcliffe model (EF), and Wilmot agreement index (d) were used.Results and DiscussionThe results indicated that the root mean square error (RMSE) for simulating canopy cover development under various irrigation and fertilizer treatments ranged from 1.5% to 6.1% during the calibration stage (2020) and from 2% to 6.4% during the verification stage (2021). …”
