Modelling transpiration, soil evaporation and yield prediction of soybean in North China Plain

The main objectives of this study were to assess and partition soybean evapotranspiration and modelling to predict yields. The SIMDualKc water balance model, that adopts the dual crop coefficient approach, was used to evaluate the transpiration and soil evaporation components. Transpiration estimates were then used with the Stewart's water-yield model to predict soybean yields. SIMDualKc was calibrated and validated using soil water observations...
