This document describes the input required for simulations with AquaCrop. AquaCrop uses a relative small number of explicit parameters and largely intuitive input variables. Those are either widely available or require just simple methods for their determination. Input consists of weather data, crop and soil characteristics, and management practices that define the environment in which the crop will develop.
