*4.1. Input and Output Variables of the Model*

The model was calibrated using data from the growing season of 2012–2013 and evaluated using data from 2013–2014. Determining parameters for crop development and production, as well as water and salinity stress, was fundamental for calibrating the AquaCrop model. The parameters of climate, soil, and crop management used for the model calibration are presented in Table 3.
