Karl,

the genetic parameter files are located in the
x:\DSSAT\GENOTYPE directory were x stands
for your installation drive name. They carry
following names:

BACER.CUL (Barley)
WHCER.CUL (Wheat)
MZCER (Maize)

You will not be able to find parameters for
the cultivars mentioned in your message.
One possible way could be to use the standard
parameters of DSSAT:

WINTER-EUROPE (Wheat)
High lat winter (Barley)
Long or Medium Season (Maize depending on cultivar)

However, they will most probably not apply to your
situation. It will be much better to base them
on experimental data and by applying GENCALC
supplied with the DSSAT package. The procedures
are explained in the DSSAT manual.

Our genetic parameters from  North-Germany
considerably differ from the standard parameters and
will most probably not apply to your situation. I will
thus not be able to help you along with our data.
Seasons are cooler and longer than in Bavaria.

If you want to get  further informations on our experiment
feel free to contact me at any time.

Regards,
Matthias
