Pour ton info, au cas ou tu n'irais pas à Rome... on pourra alors monter des coups sur la Chine !  A part cela je me mets à l'Italien.

Subject:        DSSAT application
 
Now we (Dr. Jame and I) are back from China. The trip was great. My
impression is that many Chinese scientists did lots of good research
work on some areas. The integrated work and application are relatively
poor, however. They need to improve 'teem works' and involve in
international cooperation.
 
Thank you for all who sent me information on DSSAT applications before
my trip to China. Following are all responses to me about that subject.
 
Dr. Hartkamp, would you please send me copies of papers listed on
Table 2? Thanks.

Hi
 
These are two papers on CERES and other models which
evaluate the potential for prediction of grain yield, and
management of nitrates in agricultural soils.

the CERES and EPIC models for predicting spring wheat

The answer is yes !!
 
Just do a search in the literature using DSSAT, CERES, SOYGRO,
PNUTGRO,
BEANGRO etc as keywords and you will get a lot of hits.
 
Also, we have published Proceedings of our workshop that are called
Applications.  I can send you a copy if you are interested,

Hong,
 
I will be running some validations with data sets from commerical farming
operations. I
am working on commerical applications of several models including
DSSAT. I will be using
1997 data.  We are just now harvesting so I do not have examples now.
 
Best Regards

Subject:        China's modeling & DSSAT application examples
 
Hello Hong
I don't know if you've already found these references but the attached
may
help you.
This table belongs to an article I'm writing (together with Jeff White and
Gerrit Hogenboom) about Interfacing GIS and agronomic models.
 
 About the China modeling efforts question Jeromy Woods had. Are you
refering to the international symposium on modeling for crop climate soil
and pest systems and applications in sustainable crop production
(MCCSP) to
be held june 22-26 1998 in Nanjijng, China?
 
Good luck
bye

Subject:        DSSAT Application Examples
 
Hi,
To see some of the the DSSAT models examples, have a look at the
refrences of Dr G. Hoogenboom first.(As the main or co-author)
In my case I am applying the CERES-Wheat to find the possibility of
having a real time approach grain yield forecast within the growing
season.
I think it's not a bad idea if you put all the mails you recieve
regarding this subject in one place and send it to DSSAT mailing
list.

Does anyone know of any Chinese research groups actively using

interesting to hear about other crop modelling work over there.

Hallo Hong
A combined project between Freestate Agric department  and us
(ARC-GCI) use the CERES-Maize of DSSAT3 to do maize yield
predictions
for the last 3 years.  Because of the possible  El Nino effect for the
1997/98
on South Africa maize production,  we determined the best production
practices to minimize the effect of  El Nino. This was done  for 4
sites, using historical  El Nino weather data. A combination of
management practices was and will be planted. At the end of the
season we will comparing the recommendations from DSSAT3 with trial
data. We want to know if we could use long-term weather predictions
to do seasonal site specific recommendations.  We also have evaluated
DSSAT3's seasonal analysis  against long term management field trials.
We are going to use DSSAT3 to evaluates the influence of climate
change on maize production in South Africa.

Chinese researchers have started crop modeling activities approximately
since late 70's or early 80's.  However, the national research group
farmed in 1986, and started a 5-year national research project
sponsored
by the Ministry of Agriculture.  We focused on wheat (Beijing
Agricultural University, Chinese Academy of Agriculture), rice (Jiangshu
Academy of Agriculture, Guangdong Academy of Agriculture), corn
(Shenyang Agricultural University and Chinese Academy of Agriculture)
and cotton (cotton Institute of Chinese Academy of Agriculture).
 
In 1989, Dr. Joe Ritchie went to Nanjing to have a workshop with the
research group and other researchers who were interested in modeling.
After that, Shenyang Agricultural University, the group I was in,
combined CERES Maize with expert system to build framework of a
decision
support system.  This framework also contained weather generator.
The
rice and wheat groups basically had their own approaches and cotton
group somehow had some relationship with GOSSYM-COMAX.
 
The results of the first 5-year were pretty good, so from 1991, this
national research project continued another 5 year period with the
similar research groups.  I am not sure what were the results since I
was gone.  Now a new project is launched supported by Ministry of
Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.  At least one of my former
colleagues is involving in this project.  I think Dr. Hong Wang and Dr.
Yih-Wu James may know more about that.  Meanwhile, I guess there are
some other groups involving the crop modeling, too.  One of group may
be
from meteorology Institute of Chinese Academy of Agriculture for climate
warming.
 
As far as I know, no researchers or groups have worked on sorghum
specifically.  However, I know a couple of leading Chinese scientists of
(sweet) sorghum in breeding and agricultural engineering.  They are all
very active internationally, too.  Let me know if you need their
addresses.
