Chapter synopsis:

The ecohydrological and crop growth simulation model combination SwapWofost is a model that can be used for crop simulation when detailed soil moisture processes, such as for example capillairy rise, salination, etc., have to be considered. It has been succesfully used in the Netherlands, Argentina and Bangladesh.
