Simulating drought impact and mitigation in cassava using the LINTUL model

We adapted and used a crop simulation model based on light interception and use efficiency (LINTUL-Cassava) to improve our understanding of water-limited yields of cassava under rain-fed conditions in Southern Togo. Data collected in four different fields in two locations, Sevekpota and Djakakope, during two consecutive growing seasons from 2012 to 2014 were used. Data from Sevekpota in Year 2, when a larger amount of rainfall was received than...
