Abstract Aqua Crop is a simulation model that forecasts the growth and yield of crop plants under
different environmental and management conditions (Steduto et al., 2009). As a process-based
model, it can be used to optimise farm management, forecast regional yields, or study climate
change impacts and sustainable farming practices. Originally developed by the Food and
Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), it has been widely applied in agricultural
research.

Here, we present an expanded reimplementation of the model, translating it from Fortran to
Julia (Bezanson et al., 2017) and focussing on improving its interoperability with other software
and models. With AquaCrop.jl, we want to make AquaCrop available to the growing number
of environmental modellers working in Julia, and contribute to the creation of integrated,
interdisciplinary models in the environmental sciences.
