v2.3

  • Module I: Climate Regime

    • Added new agro-climatic indicators
      • Annual Temperature Amplitude
      • Annual Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo)
      • Annual Reference Actual Evapotranspiration (ETa)
      • Annual Moisture Availability Index (P/ETo)
      • Reference Annual Water Deficit (Wde)
      • Net Primary Productivity (NPP)
      • LGP of the Longest Component (lgd)
      • Beginning Date of the Longest LGP component (lgb)
      • Total number of hibernating periods
      • Beginning date of the hibernation

  • Module II (Crop Simulation)

    • Revised perennial crop simulation workflow.
    • Revised crop calendar determination for perennial crops.
    • Introduced a new crop simulation routine for hibernating crops.
    • Added new outputs from crop simulation for both rainfed and irrigated conditions:
      • Actual crop evapotranspiration from precipitation (i.e., excluding irrigation) (eta)
      • LUT water deficit/ net irrigation requirement during crop cycle (wde)

  • Module III: Climatic Constraints

    • Added a functional module that automatically extracts LUT/management specific agro-climatic constraint tables from GAEZ database.

  • Module IV: Soil Constraints

    • Updated soil evaluation methodology & input excel sheet settings based on GAEZ v5 soil evaluation requirements.
    • New function: Available Water Holding Capacity (AWC) calculation.

  • Module V: Terrain Constraints

    • Terrain suitability evaluation with percent slope map is substituted with eight layers of slope class distribution by GAEZ methodology.
