I am currently working on my Msc. thesis work, am trying to simulate
Maize yield under changing climate. I propose to use the DSST crop
Model, but due financial problems I am not able to purchase the model
at a cost of $ 195, please let me know if there is a way to have the
model free of any charge or comment me what other model I may use to
asses the impact of climate change on maize yield, and free of charge.
