Alex Zizinga 2021-Assessment of FAO AquaCrop Model for simulating maize (Zea Mays L.) productivity under selected climate smart agriculture practices for soil water management in a sub-humid environment

This data is from the field experiment conducted in Uganda fror three growing seasons conducted at Bulindi Zonal Agriculture Research Development Institute, Western Uganda (1° 00' – 2° 00' N and 30° 30' – 31°45' E, 1276 m asl). The data includes files describing seven treatments used in the experiment to simulate maize yield and biomass in sheet one of Crop growth file with all seasons of simulated and field observations for three growing seasons aligned to the AquaCrop model evaluation statistics, Evapotranspiration (Etr), Water Use Efficience (WUE) in sheet 2 and the Climate data in sheet three (Climate). The individual simulated files are titled in a folder for all seasons (The experiment consisted of seven treatments which included grass mulch with thicknesses of 2 cm (M2 cm), 4 cm (M4 cm) and 6 cm (M6 cm), halfmoon (HM), permanent planting basins (PPB) of 20 cm (PPB20 cm) and 30 cm (PPB30 cm). Soil hydarulic properties include field capaciy, permanent wilting point and saturation of the soils at the study site.

本数据集源自于乌干达 Bulindi 地区农业研究与发展研究所进行的田野实验，该实验覆盖了三个生长季节。实验地点位于乌干达西部，具体地理坐标为北纬1°00′至2°00′，东经30°30′至31°45′，海拔1276米。数据集包含描述七个实验处理的文件，这些处理用于模拟玉米产量和生物量。这些文件位于作物生长文件的第一页，其中包含了模拟及实地观测的三季数据，并与 AquaCrop 模型评估统计指标相匹配，包括蒸散量（Etr）、水分利用效率（WUE）等。第二页包含了气候数据（Climate）。每个模拟文件均以季节为标题存放在一个文件夹中。实验包括七种处理方法，其中包括厚度为2厘米（M2 cm）、4厘米（M4 cm）和6厘米（M6 cm）的草覆盖物，半圆形（HM）、永久性种植池（PPB）20厘米（PPB20 cm）和30厘米（PPB30 cm）。土壤水文特性包括研究地点的土壤田间持水量、永久凋萎点和土壤饱和度。
