Title: Yield component modeling in Cereals
Name: Alagarswamy, G
Institution: Michigan State Univeristy, E.Lansing
Current location: East Lansing, Michigan , USA
Yrs experience in modelling: 15
Keywords: CERES models, Yield component modelling, Resource evaluation and
Risk analysis, Model validation
Crops: Wheat, Maize, Sorghum, Pearl Millet, Soy beans, and Chick Pea
Models: DSSAT suite of models
Application: Natural resource evaluation, Risk analysis, Climate Change
effects, evaluation of models using standard data sets
Summary: Relate cereal yield components to cumulative photosynthetically
active radiation during panicle growth period and use the concept to revise
yield simulation. Apply crop models to evaluate the climate change effects
on crop production.
