Simulação do balanço hídrico de feijoeiros sob irrigação e sequeiro, através do modelo SIMBA.

Abstract

A soil moisture model (SIMBA) was validated for irrigated and non-irrigated dry beans in Paraná, Brazil. The model presented an excellent performance for prediction of soil moisture and realistically simulated the remaining components of the soil water balance. The results demonstrate the capability of the model for estimation of crop water requirements and soil water availability for decision of irrigation applications in historic and real time basis.
