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:

Start the “Database-Map” function. This example will display rainfall data for a specific dekad in 2002 for Bangladesh.
