write_xdb_rotation: Write SALUS xdb.xml Rotation Component Level Parameters
In jdeines/salustools: Tools to Work with the SALUS Crop Model

Description Usage Arguments Details Examples

This function writes the rotation component arguments. Subsequent write_xdb_m* functions append information about management options. See http://salusmodel.glg.msu.edu/salus.ddb.xml for more information about SALUS parameter options. This function should be followed with write_xdb_m* (rotation management), and write_xdb_bottomMatter functions to complete the Experiment file.

1 2	write_xdb_rotation(outFile, OrderNum, Title, IIrrI, IferI, ITilI, IHarI, IResI)

`outFile`	Full file path for an existing .xdb.xml to appended to, created with write_xdb_topMatter
`OrderNum`	Order of the treatment. Minimum = 1. 1 will initialize the Rotation_components section
`Title`	Rotation component title, such as 'maize', 'Wheat'
`IIrrI`	Irrigation management. 'N' - not irrigated; 'A' - auto profile refill; 'F' - auto with fixed amount; 'R' - reported date, 'Y' - reported doy, 'D' - days after planting
`IferI`	Fertilizer management. 'N' - not irrigated; 'A' - automatic; 'F' - auto with fixed amount; 'R' - reported date, 'Y' - reported doy, 'D' - days after planting
`ITilI`	Tillage management. 'N' - no tillage; 'A' - automatic; 'R' - reported; 'Y' - reported doy, 'D' - days after planting
`IHarI`	Harvest management. A: Automatic; D: Days after Planting; G: At Growth Stages; M: At Maturity R: Reported Date W: Harvest when crop reaches given weight Y: Reported Day of Year
`IResI`	Residue management

All other SALUS Rotation Component parameters are set currently as default.

# file path to existing .xdb.xml file created by write_xdb_topMatter
fileOut <- 'C:/Users/deinesji/1PhdJill/test.xdb.xml'

# append rotation component parameters to .xdb.xml; numeric parameters can be character or numeric
write_xdb_rotation(outFile = fileOut, OrderNum = 1, Title = 'Wheat', IIrrI = 'N',
                   IferI = 'R', ITilI = 'R', 'IHarI' = 'R', IResI = 'A')
