Dear DSSAT users,
I am intrested to work on the crop simulation modelling of groundnut in
different locations in India mainly in the rainfed ecosystem. If You have
any information, kindly share with me. I do have some information of the
work done by ICRISAT or in collaboration with ICRISAT in India. Information/
suggestions on the crop for working on modelling will be appreciated
from any cornor of the earth.
Thanking you,
P.C.Nautiyal,
