Improving CERES-Maize for simulating maize growth and yield under water stress conditions

Water stress in different maize growth stages has different effects on maize growth and development. Accurately simulating these effects with a maize model are important to agriculture water management and savings. The objective of this study was to improve the performance of the Crop-Environment Resource Synthesis Maize (CERES-Maize) model for simulating maize (Zea mays L.) growth and yield under water stress conditions. The model was evaluated...
