write_xdb_mIrrigate_Auto: Write SALUS xdb.xml Irrigation Management for Rotation...

In jdeines/salustools: Tools to Work with the SALUS Crop Model

Description

This function writes the irrigation management arguments after write_xdb_rotation has been run. See http://salusmodel.glg.msu.edu/salus.ddb.xml for more information about SALUS parameter options. This function should be followed with additional write_xdb_m* (rotation managements), and write_xdb_bottomMatter functions to complete the Experiment file. Includes an option to close the rotation compoment if this is the last management specified.

Usage

write_xdb_mIrrigate_Auto(outFile, AIrAm = "", DSoil = 20,
  ThetaC = 50, IAMe = "IR004", closeComponent = "N")

Arguments

outFile	Full file path for an existing .xdb.xml to appended to, created with write_xdb_topMatter
AIrAm	Amount per irrigation if fixed in mm; defaults to "" empty quotes
DSoil	Management depth for irrig. cm. Defaults to 20 cm
ThetaC	Threshold for automatic appl.- percent of max. available w. Defaults to 50
IAMe	Method for automatic appl. defaults to 'IR004' for sprinkler
