Publisher Summary This chapter discusses some crop simulation models in agronomic
systems. Many crop models or parts of crop models have been built to help the researcher …

One of the unusual features of agricultural production is the uniqueness of every season.
Each year is unique in the timing of the rain, temperature regimes, etc., and when the …

CropSyst is a multi-year, multi-crop, daily time step cropping systems simulation model
developed to serve as an analytical tool to study the effect of climate, soils, and management …

The development and application of cropping system simulation models for cotton
production has a long and rich history, beginning in the southeastern United States in the …

A cotton crop simulation model was constructed by linking a simple temperature-driven
model of the fruiting dynamics to the widely used Ritchie (1972) soil water balance model …

Simulation of crop systems has evolved from a neophyte science into a robust and
increasingly accepted discipline. Our vision is that crop systems simulation can serve …

Modeling techniques applied to agriculture can be useful to define research priorities and
understanding the basic interactions of the soil-plant-atmosphere system. Using a model to …

Crop simulation models consolidate mathematical representations of the various
physiological processes underlying crop growth and development into an entity that can be …

Crop modeling, the computerized simulation of dynamic crop systems, was born about 30
years ago, when systems analysis and modern computers presented a new technique to …

The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the Hybrid‐Maize software (www.
hybridmaize. unl. edu, verified 28 Feb. 2006), with emphasis on its practical applications …
