Abstract: Simulation of soil hydrology was performed for two plots: the first one was under corn monocrop and another one was under bare fallow for 50 years. The depth to carbonates is 140-160 cm under corn and 70-80 cm under bare fallow. Mathematical modeling with the HYDRUS-1D software and the FAO56 method demonstrated that soil hydrology was different for the two plots. Soil moisture was generally higher under bare fallow than under corn. The upward fluxes were significantly greater under bare fallow than under corn, and they were obtained for a thicker soil layer
