Experiment code 16. 2. 3. 73
Experiment Title Calibration and validation of DSSAT-CROPGRO model for chickpea
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Pulses are an important source of protein, high in fiber content and provide ample quantity of vitamins and minerals. It is important component to sustain the agriculture production as the pulse crops possess wide adaptability to fit into various cropping systems, improve the soil fertility being leguminous in nature and physical health of soil while making soil more porous due to tap root system. Water availability and temperature are the major environmental variables affecting chickpea yield. Since, chickpea rank first in pulses in terms of area under cultivation and production in India hence, it is necessary to address most serious problems like impact of climate change in order to achieve sustainability in pulses production. Climate change is expected to affect agriculture very differently in different parts of the world. Crop growth models can simulate the growth and yield of crops under various biotic and abiotic stresses, and can be conveniently used for climate variability, climate change impact assessment on chickpea yield, need to calibrate and validate DSSAT model.
