Dear colleagues:

As I've told you before I'm analyzing the CERES-Rice Model for different locations of my country, now the xperiment files by year let's say 1998-2008 give the same result as running the seasonal model for 98-08 with meteorological observed data. I have a complete soil analysis for the location:

But unfortunately I don't have information about the soil initial conditions so I'm using the ones described in the by default file:

 1   120   .25    .5    .5
 1   150   .22    .5    .5


The question is the following: Is there a table which has this measurements SH2O, SNH4, SNO3? Or how can I calculate them?. I need this information for rice starting with 2000 kg/ha yield.

I hope you can help me with this doubt.

Thanks in advance.
