Abstract
Not AvailableA study was conducted to evaluate AquaCrop model for its ability to simulate crop performance under full and
deficit water conditions in a humid environment in Konkan region of Maharashtra. The study dealt with the effect
of different scenarios of irrigation (10, 30 and 50 per cent deficit) on crop yields grown in the irrigation command
and their effects on crop yield sustainability and overall benefit. The net benefit for 10, 30 and 50 per cent deficit
strategies was Rs. 23.67, 12.20 and -0.74 lakh, respectively. It was observed that 10 per cent deficit strategy was
more beneficial in light soils.Not Availabl
