MODELLING TOMATO YIELD AND CROP WATER REQUIREMENTS UNDER BIOCHAR AMENDMENT IN A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT
The purpose of this study was to quantify water use and yield of tomato crops grown on biochar-amended soils in tropical conditions of Ibadan, Nigeria. Field experiments incorporated FAO AquaCrop and CROPWAT alongside five levels of biochar application (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 t ha⁻¹). Reference evapotranspiration was esti...
