Overview

Whilst crop models have made significant progress in recent years, different models still diverge and struggle to predict the complex effects of genetic, environmental and management (G x E x M) variables in optimising crop production in the face of climate change. Current crop models: State-of-the-art and future developments provides a comprehensive overview of the major crop models and the ways they address these challenges. The book explores the development of major crop models such as the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT), how variables such as crop variety and genetic differences are being addressed, recent model improvements and future model enhancements, as well as examples of current applications to improve crop production. The book builds on a successful earlier volume published by Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing: Advances in crop modelling for a more sustainable agriculture (2019).
