Soil Data

The values of Setif and BBA experimental site's soil organic matter, clay, and sand content, obtained by laboratory analysis, were introduced into the SPAW model [35].Thus, this last, in turn, simulates the permanent wilting point (PWP), the field capacity (FC), the total quantity of available water contained in the soil (TAW), and saturated hydraulic conductivity (SAT). The values of PWP, FC, and SAT are simulated by the SPAW model by applying a pedotransfer function. These four soil parameters are essential for the AquaCrop model run [36].
