Abstract

Physiological crop-response models, which take into account the dynamics of plant responses to soil moisture, were used for the first time to evaluate alternative cropping strategies involving three different crops. Dryland and fallow cropping and various levels of irrigation in Southwest Kansas were considered for each of three crops (corn, grain sorghum, and wheat) with the models CERES, SORGF, and PHOTO, respectively. The models were validated by simulating yields for field experiments done at the Southwest Kansas Branch Station over an 8-year period...
