Abstract: 【Objective】 It is important to take an irrigation measure in time according to the drought situation in resisting drought and improving water use efficiency. In view of practical field application, this study explores the applicability in arid area and irrigation simulation in drought year with AquaCrop model. It will provide a guideline in resisting drought and protecting the yield.【Method】 Field surveys and experiments were conducted at Rougu test area and Wugong test area, Shaanxi Province during the typical wheat growing seasons of 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. The model parameters were adjusted with the data of Rougu test area acquired in 2013-2014, and the model was validated with the data acquired in Rougu test area in 2012-2013 and Wugong test area in 2013-2014. The model parameters mainly include canopy growth and canopy senescence coefficient, maximum canopy cover, water productivity and reference harvest coefficient. According to the surveys of the factual irrigation situation in 2012-2013, four irrigation situations were developed to simulate their influence on biomass and yield. Consequently, the optimal irrigation strategy was obtained. Finally, the water use efficiency was calculated.【Result】The R2 and RMSE between the simulated and the measured canopy cover were 0.464 and 8.0%, respectively. The R2 and RMSE of simulated and measured biomass were 0.889 and 1.662 t·ha-1, respectively. The RMSE of simulated yield and measured yield was 0.377 t·ha-1. Under the two scenarios that the wheat was irrigated at the 77th day and the 172th day after planting, the largest biomass could be obtained. The highest yield approaching 6.451 t·ha-1 could be obtained under the treatment that the wheat was irrigated on the 77th day, the 172th day and the 200th day after planting. The water use efficiencies of Rougu test area (from 2012 to 2013), Rougu test area (from 2013 to 2014) and Wugong test area (from 2013 to 2014) were 1.84, 1.69 and 1.82 kg·m-3, respectively.【Conclusion】The AquaCrop model could well simulate the development of winter wheat in arid regions, and the different irrigation times and irrigation frequencies have an important effect on winter wheat biomass and yield. Water use efficiency in drought year was higher than in normal year when two more irrigation were added. The experimental results demonstrate that AquaCrop model has a good application prospect in making irrigation strategies in arid area.
