Calibration and validation of APSIM–Maize, DSSAT CERES–Maize, and AquaCrop models for Ethiopian tropical environments

Description
  • This article compares the performance of three process-based crop models (APSIM–Maize, DSSAT CERES–Maize, and AquaCrop) under Ethiopian tropical conditions. Using field data from three agro-ecological sites and four maize varieties, the study conducts model calibration, validation, and ensemble analysis. The findings demonstrate that ensemble modeling significantly improves simulation accuracy and reduces uncertainty compared to individual models.
