Dear members,

I'm using DSSAT to simulate the impacts of climate change on crop yields in
Quebec, and I have a problem in the choice of cultivars.

In previous studies done on the same subject, but with different climate and
crop models, a choice of cultivars was made. I would like to use the same
crops to facilitate comparisons.

My problem is that the caracteristics that I have for these cultivars are
harvest index, degree-days and corn heat units, yield coefficient, and % of
dry matter in the main product. What I would like to know is how to convert
or relate these caracteristics to those describing the cultivars in DSSAT
3.5, in order to chose the right ones to use.

thank you all for your help,
sincerely,
