An open-source model is a model that makes it possible to modify the source code. This tool can be a great advantage for the user since it allows changing or modifying some of the background theory of the model. World Food Studies (WOFOST) and AquaCropOS open-source crop models were compared using field recorded data. Both models are free open-source tools that allow evaluating the impacts of climate and water on agriculture. The objective of this research was to assess the model’s efficiency in simulating the yield and above-ground biomass formation of a potato crop on the Cundiboyacense plateau. WOFOST simulates biomass accumulation in the crop organs using partitioning of assimilates to establish the biomass fraction that turns into yield. AquaCropOS simulates total above-ground biomass accumulation using crop water productivity (WP) and considers the Harvest Index (HI) to calculate yield formation. Crop modules for both models were built using information recorded in previous studies by other authors; those works performed a physiological and phenological characterization of some potato varieties. It was found that the WOFOST model simulates yield formation better than AquaCropOS; despite that, AquaCropOS simulates total above-ground biomass better than WOFOST. However, AquaCropOS was as efficient as WOFOST in simulating yield formation.
Un modelo de código abierto permite modificar el código fuente. Esto puede ser una gran ventaja para el usuario, pues permite modificar o cambiar parte de la teoría en la que se sustenta el modelo. Los modelos de código abierto WOFOST y AquaCropOS fueron comparados usando información medida en campo. Ambos modelos son herramientas gratuitas de código abierto que permiten evaluar los impactos del clima y el agua en la agricultura. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la eficiencia de los modelos para simular el rendimiento y la formación de acumulación de biomasa sobre el suelo para un cultivo de papa en el altiplano cundiboyacense. WOFOST simula la acumulación de biomasa en los órganos del cultivo utilizando la partición de asimilados para establecer la fracción de biomasa que va al rendimiento. AquaCropOS simula la acumulación total de biomasa sobre el suelo usando la productividad de agua del cultivo (PA) y tiene en cuenta el índice de cosecha (IC) para calcular la formación del rendimiento. Los módulos de cultivo para ambos modelos fueron construidos usando información recolectada en estudios previos hechos por otros autores; estos trabajos hicieron una caracterización fisiológica y fenológica de algunas variedades de papa. Se encontró que el modelo WOFOST simula la formación del rendimiento mejor que AquaCropOS; a pesar de esto, AquaCropOS simula la acumulación total de biomasa sobre el suelo mejor que WOFOST. Sin embargo, AquaCropOS fue tan eficiente como WOFOST simulando la formación del rendimiento.
