Addressing water stress in banana-based cropping systems: evaluating the applicability of the AquaCrop computer simulation model for banana plantations KU Leuven
Bananas (Musa spp.) is one of the most produced crop worldwide and the world's most popular fruit. Water is often considered the largest abiotic threat to production. The impact of water stress on production can be simulated through well calibrated computer crop models to aid in plantation management. Currently, a widely applicable, accurate and functional computer crop model for simulating banana production and underlying soil water balances ...
