Jordan,
I don't think there is a "default" emergence time. You do not need to enter an emergence date in your File X. The model predicts this as a function of heat units (also considers soil water).
In fact, I don't think the "emergence date entry" section of File X of DSSAT even acts to truly specify emergence. I don't know why it is there. I never use it and ignore it.

Dear All,
I was wondering what the default emergence date is for corn in DSSAT if
one is not entered? Is it the actual planting date, 6 days after planting,
10 days after plant, etc?
