Dear DSSAT users,

I'd like to simulate a situation similar to Sprinkle Irrigation. I want to
do this using Automatic Irrigation. I tested different Depth and Threshold
values. The best settings seems to be 10 cm depth and 60% of available water
(50 cm and 50% is used to simulate Surface Irrigation with smaller number of
irrigation applications in relation to Sprinkle Irrigation). Is this a
proper setting to simulate Sprinkle Irrigation? Is there any suggestion?
Also, I'd like to know if I can define different settings for different
growth stages? How can I define the growth stages in the main DSSAT input
file? What is the meaning of "GS000"?



Sincerely Yours.
