ATTIVITÀ DEL CORSO DI DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN SCIENZE AGRARIE

Obbligatoria per i dottorandi del corso in Scienze Agrarie – curriculum in Produttività delle Piante coltivate

A scelta per i dottorandi degli altri Corsi

Il curriculum in Produttività delle Piante coltivate, Scuola di dottorato in Scienze Agrarie, organizza un seminario dal titolo: “The AquaCrop Model: Background, evolutionary concepts and key algorithms”. Relatore: dott. Pasquale Steduto.

Il seminario, in lingua italiana, si terrà venerdì 19 marzo 2021 con inizio alle ore 12:00, e si si terrà sulla piattaforma Teams: Dottorato Curriculum Produttività delle Piante coltivate  (codice bbbn9ch).

La partecipazione al seminario è obbligatoria per i dottorandi del curriculum in Produttività delle Piante coltivate.

Ai dottorandi che partecipano al seminario saranno riconosciuti 0,5 CFR.

Contatto per tutte le informazioni relative all'evento: prof. Francesco Giunta giunta@uniss.it.

Pasquale Steduto holds an MSc in Water Science and a PhD in Soil-Plant-Water Relationships from the University of California in Davis. Dott. Steduto has been working for more than 25 years on agricultural water use efficiency and water productivity, with a focus on crops water requirements, their yield response to water and associate modeling development under water scarcity conditions.

Introductory Note: The Seminar will expose the participants to a special overview of the crop-modeling evolution, leading to the development of the FAO AquaCrop. Departing from a conceptual framework on how to deal with uncertainty and complexity in modeling, the presentation will first illustrate the progression in simulating the biomass growth-engines and then focusing on the FAO model AquaCrop. Key principles and algorithms of AquaCrop will be described and explained, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses.
