Abstract

The research was carried out from November, 2013 to March, 2014. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the AquaCrop model simulation of canopy cover, dry biomass and soil water balance in dry bean crop. The area of research belonging to UBPC Grito de Yara, belonging to Yara county of Granma province. The investigation area was a plot, with nine furrows with 0.8 m width and 100 m length. The plot was divided into 3 subplots with 33 m of length, central furrow of each subplot were utilized for measurement. Variety Delicias 360 was sown on December 20, 2013, with 0,5 m of plant spacing and 0,8 m of row spacing. Canopy cover (CF), dry biomass (BSA) and soil water content (CHS) evolution simulated by AquaCrop model were similar in tendency and absolute values to that observed. Considering R2 (0,81; 0,95; 0,99), RMSE (13,4; 0,45;7,3 ), NRMSE (19,3; 17,0; 7), EF(0,8; 0,94; 0,63) y d (0,95; 0,98; 0,92) indicators as statistical criteria for CF, BSA y CHS variables, respectively, it was possible to prove that AquaCrop model can adequately simulate the variables observed.
