Write AquaCrop project files

write_exp_aquacrop.Rd

Creates AquaCrop project (.PRM) files that link climate, CO2, crop, irrigation, management, soil and initial-condition files for one or more simulation cycles. The function expects the referenced AquaCrop input files to exist in the project directory.

Usage

write_exp_aquacrop(
  path_proj,
  id_name,
  clim_name,
  soil_name,
  cultivar,
  sowing_date,
  harvest_date,
  co2_name = "MaunaLoa",
  irri_name = "rainfed",
  man_agro = "none",
  ini_cond = "none",
  version = "6.x"
)

Arguments

path_proj

Character. AquaCrop project directory where the LIST subdirectory and project file will be written.

id_name

Character. Project identifier used as the .PRM file name.

clim_name

Character. Base name of the AquaCrop climate file set, without extension.

soil_name

Character. Base name of the AquaCrop soil .SOL file, without extension.

cultivar

Character. Base name of the AquaCrop crop .CRO file, without extension.

sowing_date

Date vector. Sowing date or dates used to build simulation runs.

harvest_date

Date vector. Harvest date or dates used to build simulation runs.

co2_name

Character. Base name of the AquaCrop CO2 file, without extension. Defaults to "MaunaLoa".

irri_name

Character. Irrigation file base name, or "rainfed" when no irrigation file should be linked.

man_agro

Character. Management file base name, or "none" when no management file should be linked.

ini_cond

Character. Initial-condition file base name, or "none" when no initial-condition file should be linked.

version

Character. AquaCrop version label used by the caller; defaults to "6.x".

Value

Character vector with the path of the AquaCrop project file created.
