RAMA Research Group collaborates in PROMEDRICE to assess the impact of irrigation on yield and water balance components in rice fields

A research stay at CITA Aragón to learn how to use the DSSAT model at field level in the Baix Ter.

RAMA Research Group from CSIC-Aula Dei, CITA Aragón and Zaragoza University hosted a research stay of Sílvia Cufí during the first quarter of 2024. The research stay took place in CITA Aragón and was supervised by Dr Farida Dechmi, who is Sílvia’s PhD codirector together with Dr Francesc Ramírez de Cartagena from Universitat de Girona.

As part of her PhD within Irrigation Engineering and Management Research Group from Universitat de Girona (UdG), Sílvia learned how to use DSSAT model to assess the impacts of different irrigation techniques on rice yield and water balance components at field level in Baix Ter rice agroecosystem (Girona).

We’re extremely proud of such collaborations, which do not only contribute to reach PROMEDRICE objectives, but also to strengthten relationships and learn from the best!
