Evaluating the impact of using digital soil mapping products as input for spatializing a crop model: The case of drainage and maize yield simulated by STICS in the Berambadi catchment (India)

•Stuying DSM products for spatializing the STICS model (simulated yield and drainage)•Comparisons of STICS outputs using observed vs DSM estimated STICS soil parameters.•DSM products outperformed the soil map for providing the STICS soil parameters.•Few yearly and the all-year-aggregated simulations were impacted by DSM errors.•Coupling DSM with a crop model: an interesting solution for Digital Soil Assessment.
