Hello:

I am trying to add a cultivar of common bean from Uzbekistan to the
BNGRO040.CUL file following the methodology outlined by Ken Boote.  I
am at the stage of trying to fit the simulated LAI to our field
measured data, and cannot force the LAI low enough without decreasing
SLAVR much lower than any other cultivars.  As we observed little or no
nodule formation in the field with our beans, we have set the rhizobia
number and effectiveness to 0 in X_Build.  However, this does not
produce any effect on LAI, biomass, yield or the nitrogen stress factor.

Does anyone have any advice?

Thank you,

Heidi
