The University of Georgia, in collaboration with the International
Consortium for Agricultural Systems Applications (ICASA) and various
other institutions, will host a Training Program on DSSAT Version 4.5
entitled "Assessing Crop Production, Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk
and Environmental Sustainability with Simulation Models" from May 10
through May 19, 2010 at the University of Georgia Campus in Griffin,
Georgia, USA. The overall goal of the workshop is to familiarize the
workshop participants with the Decision Support System for
Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) and the Cropping System Model (CSM) for
the simulation of crop growth and yield, soil and plant water, nutrient,
and carbon dynamics, and the application of models to real world
problems, such as crop and resource management, climate change and
climate variability, carbon sequestration, food security, biofuels, and
environmental sustainability. For further information, please visit the
ICASA web site at www.icasa.net or the workshop web site at
