Dear Luo Yi,
question 1: As far as I know, DSSAT uses the 'Civil Twilight' for
calculation of daylength.
question 2: It´s just a matter of definition. Under
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/RST_defs.html#top you´ll find definitions
of astronomical, nautical and civil twilight.
Hope this helps.
Greetings
Jans
