Dear Subscribers in the DSSAT list
I am from Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand and recently (19th July) joined the Department of Soils and Fertilizer, National Agricultural Research Center (NARC), Tsukuba, Japan, as a Post-doctorate JSPS Fellow. The objective of my research is to develop a simulation model associated with N dynamics in soil in order to establish and assist a favourable crop and soil management for high quality and stable wheat production.
I am intending to participate in the training program on DSSAT Version 4 "Assessing Crop Production, Nutrient Management, climatic Risk and Environmental Sustainability with Simulation Models", which will commence from December 9 - December 18, 2002. It will be held on the Griffin Campus of the University of Georgia. After the training of DSSAT workshop, I would like to validate or test the DSSAT crop model using the wheat field data from 1998-2001 (from experimental plots of NARC). I also wish to simulate grain yield with desired protein content under Japan agro-climatic condition and further develop a mechanistic wheat model. My queries are; what are the parameters I should use for successful running of the DSSAT model and please suggest to conceptualize initially as I am fairly new in DSSAT crop modeling.
Regards
M. R. Anwar
