Preparation of ten-daily rainfall and ET0 maps for crop forecasting
Crop forecasting based on water balance calculations is usually done in a ten-day timestep. A ten day period is called a “dekad”. However, should daily weather data of good spatial and temporal extend be available, the water balance can be run in AgrometShell on a daily basis.
In order to do crop forecasting the following weather data have to be gathered:
- Actual decadal rainfall data for the running season.
- Actual decadal ET0 data for the running season
- Normal rainfall data
- Normal ET0 data
These data form indicators in itself, even without using them directly in a water balance calculation. Some examples are given below:
A simple rainfall map for the current dekad
Start the “Database-Map” function. This example will display rainfall data for a specific dekad in 2002 for Bangladesh. 
With the world map as default, some cluttered data are shown for Bangladesh 
Using the zoom buttons an image for just Bangladesh is selected. With the Copy-to-clipboard button this image can be copied to the clipboard and pasted into a word processor.
