Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we had to cancel all DSSAT workshops
scheduled in 2020. We now anticipate that the situation will have
improved in six months. Therefore, the DSSAT Foundation, in
collaboration with the University of Florida and the International
Fertilizer Development Center, is planning to host the international
training program entitled DSSAT 2021 - "Assessing Crop Production,
Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental Sustainability with
Simulation Models" from May 17 through May 22, 2021 at the University of
Georgia Campus in Griffin, Georgia, USA. The overall goal of the
workshop is to familiarize the workshop participants with the Decision
Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT v4.x); the Cropping
System Model (CSM) for the simulation of crop growth and yield, soil and
plant water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics; and the application of
models to real world problems, such as crop and resource management,
climate change and climate variability, carbon sequestration, food
security, biofuels, and environmental sustainability.
