Dataset
To develop a set of Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) compatible soil profiles on a five arc-minute grid.
The study applied a pedo-transfer function to derive some soil hydraulic properties (saturated hydraulic conductivity, soil water content at field capacity, wilting point and saturation) which are critical to simulate crop growth. For other required variables, HarvestChoice’s HC27 database are used as a reference
This dataset entails the soil properties (bulk density, organic carbon, percentage of clay and silt, soil pH and cation exchange capacity), soil hydraulic properties (saturated hydraulic conductivity, soil water content at field capacity, wilting point and saturation) and plant growth data.
This dataset was obtained through simulation.
