CropData.txt

This file includes variables relating to crops, including irrigation characteristics, and other vegetation. All vegetation is called crops in the text below, e.g. also forest. CropData.txt is only needed for nutrient or irrigation modelling, but can be used for water and tracer simulations. Crops in HYPE have a number of static properties, e.g. sowing and harvesting dates, which are read from CropData.txt. The handling of these properties assume the catchment is on the Northern hemisphere, i.e. that summer is the growing season. Crops are part of the unique combination making up an SLC class, as defined in GeoClass.txt. To allow for modifying properties of a certain crop within the model domain, e.g. to reflect climate gradients, several crop regions can be defined with corresponding variables region in GeoData.txt and reg in CropData.txt.

CropData.txt is a tab-separated text file located in the modeldir folder. The first row contains a column header with variable names. Variable names are not case-sensitive (max. 10 characters, no spaces). The following rows contain variable values for each crop. Columns with headings unknown to HYPE are skipped while reading the file. A text column may contain at most 100 characters. The first column is often used for a descriptive name of the crop, and not read by HYPE. The columns may be in any order. A value must exist for every column and row, i.e. empty cells are not allowed.

Example for CropData.txt file structure:

name    nr  cropid reg fn1 fp1 fday1 fdown1 ...
grains  1   1      1   80  5   100   0.1    ...
grains  2   1      2   80  5   120   0.1    ...
grasses 3   2      1   0   0   100   0.1    ...
...     ... ...    ... ... ... ...   ...    ...

All crop characteristics are described in the table below. Column Type groups variables according to:

  • General: IDs to connect crop properties to other indata.
  • Fertiliser: Variables for fertiliser and manure application. NOTE: parameter fertdays in par.txt needs to be set to a value larger than zero for fertiliser and manure to be applied.
  • Turnover: Crop growth and biomass turnover properties.
  • Irrigation: Crop irrigation properties. Parameter irrcrop determine if irrigation is used for a crop.
  • T1 source: Tracer T1 application.

The general unit (U) is used in tables of parameters and input data where the unit is not defined.
