| Abstract: |
| Agricultural system models are tools to represent and understand major processes and their interactions in
agricultural system. We used the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) with four diferent tillage treatments data from a study in west Henan of China to evaluate winter wheat yield, leaf area index and water balance. The model was calibrated using the data of field experiment. The site had a winter wheat-fallow-winter wheat rotation. The treatments were:(1) decrease tllage (DT), 10~15 cm height straw mulching and once plough 25 cm on 1st July; (2) zero tillage (ZT), zero tillage with 35~40 cm height straw mulching; (3) subsoiling (SS), 35~40 cm height straw mulching and suboiling 40 cm depth on 1st July; (4) conventional tillage (CT), 10~15 cm height straw mulching and twice plough 20 cm on 1st July and 1st October. DSSAT correctly simulated four tillage treatments variations in winter yield, leaf area index and soil water balance. Winter wheat yield variation was simulated with better satisfaction (the error absolute values was less than 3.95% and the error mean absolute value was 2. 78%). Mean value of root mean
square erors (RMSE) for simulated leaf area index (LAI) and soil water storage were 0.41 and 0.084, respectively.
The predicted water use efficiency for the four tillage treatments were 15.85, 15.40, 16.58 and 15.81 kg/(mm·hm2), respectively, and these values were close to the measured data (16.82, 14.44, 16.86 and 15 .66 kg/(mm·hm2), respectively). Although the analysis results showed us the DSSAT V4.5 was very well agreement for simulated winter wheat grown in west Henan, however, these preliminary results are based on one year and four tillage treatments dataset and further long term analysis need to be carried out for improving the understanding of the conservation agriculture cropping systems in west Henan, China. |
