Abstract

Using meteorological data obtained from Regional Model (REMO), maize yields from the years 2020 to 2099 were simulated by AquaCrop Model in Maroua, Garoua and Kaélé. These future yields are almost nil for the three cities. In view to determine the minimum quantities of water needed to improve them, the hypothesis of no water moisture stress was considered. For the four periods of 20 consecutive years (2020-2039, 2040-2059, 2060-2079 and 2080-2099), average yields of 5.21, 5.11, 4.97, and 4.73 ton/ha are obtained in Garoua, 5.05, 4.97, 4.64, and 3.87 ton/ha in Maroua and 4.91, 4.82, 4.51 and 3.69 t/ha in Kaélé. The average quantities of water irrigation (also obtained with AquaCrop) for the same periods are 13, 19, 46 and 78 mm for Garoua; 34, 48, 84 and 147 mm for Maroua and 57, 68, 111 and 171 mm for Kaélé. The yields by considering these irrigation water quantities are improved and the following values are obtained for the four periods indicated above- 5.20, 5.10, 4.99 and 4.82 ton/ha for Garoua; 5.10, 5.00, 4.78 and 4.35 ton/ha for Maroua and 4.99, 4.91, 4.75 and 4.50 ton/ha for Kaélé.
