Abstract

The “Compagnie Sucrière Sénégalaise” (CSS) wanted to upscale the field-level crop simulation model AquaCrop (FAO's agro-meteorological model) for the automated monitoring and management of its ±13.000 ha of irrigated sugarcane. A recently developed changepoint detector was applied to Sentinel-1 time series to identify key phenological crop stages for assimilation in AquaCrop. Field-specific emergence dates, varying from 10 to 45 days after planting, were assimilated in AquaCrop. Simulated sugarcane biomass had an R2 of 0.7 and an RMSE of 6.4%. The improved management support system was also able to identify potential irrigation mismanagements.
