wofost: WOFOST crop growth model

In Rwofost: WOFOST Crop Growth Simulation Model

Description

Run the WOFOST crop growth model. Through this interface, you provide weather data, and crop, soil and control parameters to run the model once. For multiple runs it might be preferable to use wofost_model instead.

Usage

wofost(crop, weather, soil, control)

Arguments

crop	list. Crop parameters
weather	data.frame with weather data
soil	list. Soil parameters
control	list. Model control options

Details

The weather data must be passed as a data.frame with the following variables and units.

	variable	description	class / unit
	date	"Date" class variable	-
	srad	Solar radiation	kJ m-2 day-1
	tmin	Minimum temperature	degrees C
	tmax	Maximum temperature	degrees C
	vapr	Vapor pressure	kPa
	wind	Wind speed	m s-1
	prec	Precipitation	mm day-1

Note that there should not be any time gaps between the days in the data.frame

Value

matrix

Examples

# weather data
f <- system.file("extdata/Netherlands_Swifterbant.csv", package="meteor")
w <- read.csv(f)
w$date <- as.Date(w$date)
head(w)

# crop and soil parameters
crop <- wofost_crop("barley")
soil <- wofost_soil("ec1")

# "control" parameters
contr <- wofost_control()
contr$modelstart <- as.Date("1980-02-06")
contr$latitude=52.57
contr$elevation=50


# run model
d <- wofost(crop, w, soil, contr)

# output
head(d)
tail(d)
plot(d[,"step"], d[, "LAI"])


## Another example
crop <- wofost_crop("rapeseed_1001")
soil <- wofost_soil("soil_5")
contr$modelstart <- as.Date("1977-01-01")

rp <- wofost(crop, w, soil, contr)
plot(rp[,"step"], rp[, "LAI"])

# yield
plot(rp[, 1], rp[,"WSO"])


## water limited
contr$water_limited <- TRUE
contr$modelstart <- as.Date("1985-01-01")

crop <- wofost_crop("maize_1")
f <- system.file("extdata/Philippines_IRRI.csv", package="meteor")
wth <- read.csv(f)
wth$date <- as.Date(wth$date)
contr$elevation <- 21
contr$latitude <- 14.18

ma <- wofost(crop, wth, soil, contr)
plot(ma[,"step"], ma[, "LAI"])
