The International Consortium for Agricultural Systems Applications
  (ICASA) announces the release of the Decision Support System for
  Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) version 3.5.  DSSAT v3.5 is an upgrade
  of the DSSAT v3.0 system released in 1994.  DSSAT v3.5 includes new crop
  simulation models for sunflower, sugarcane, chickpea, tomato and
  pasture.  These models were developed in collaboration with scientists
  from Argentina, Spain, South Africa and India.  The existing crop
  simulation models have been improved significantly, especially the
  growth and development routines.  DSSAT v3.5 includes models for more
  than 16 different crops.  All models have identical modules for the
  simulation of the soil water and nitrogen balances, which is especially
  important for crop rotation simulations.  Most of the data utility
  programs have been improved and enhanced.  A new graphics program,
  developed by scientists from the University of Georgia, has been added
  for display of soil moisture and nitrogen by depth over time.  Two new
  programs were developed for spatial application of the crop models and
  linkage with Geographic Information Systems (GIS).  The program
  AEGIS/WIN provides an interface between the crop simulation models and
  ArcView; AEGIS/WIN was developed in collaboration with a scientist at
  the University of Munich. The second program allows the user to perform
  spatial simulation experiments and analyze the results, including
  spatial interpolation of the data using kriging and other techniques.
  This program was developed in collaboration with scientists at the
  Wageningen Agricultural University.
 
  DSSAT v3.5 has been developed through collaboration between scientists
  at the University of Florida, the University of Georgia, University of
  Guelph, University of Hawaii, the International Fertilizer Development
  Center and other scientists associated with ICASA.
 
  DSSAT v3.5 can be purchased from ICASA at the University of Hawaii.  The
  cost for new users is $ 495 + shipping.  The cost to upgrade for
  registered users of DSSAT v2.1 is $ 250 + shipping and for registered
  users of DSSAT v3.0 is $ 100 + shipping.  Registered users of DSSAT v3.1
  will receive a free upgrade.  For purchase and upgrade information of
  DSSAT v3.5 please contact Dr. Gordon Tsuji at [log in to unmask];
