Dr Ken Boote,

I think you mislead the email address.

Sincerely,

Patricio

Mohamed,

There are no models in the current DSSAT that are appropriate for simulating
temperate grass species.  The closest to this, would be the wheat or barley
models, but they are seed-producing.  They might be useful if you are
simulating only for short cycles, prior to grain production.  Sorry.  Yes,
we need to develop such models to add to the DSSAT.

Dear all,
One of the crops I would like to simulate is grass. Could you please inform
me
about the suitability of using DSSAT for simulating grass in the temperate
region??
