Short summary
The sensitivity of the combined model (LINGRA-N and HYDRUS-1D) to hydraulic parameters, water stress, crop yield and lower boundary conditions was assessed. We showed that it is sufficient to estimate limited amount of key parameters in optimization strategies. A combined modelling approach could increase water use efficiency (12–22.5 %) and yield (5–7%) by changing irrigation scheduling. Result calls for taking into account weather forecast and soil water content data in precision agriculture.
