> Dear ICASA and DSSAT List Members:
>
> The Third International Congress on Rice Crop was recently held in Havana,
> 6 - 10 June 2005. In this meeting I had the pleasure of presenting there
> two papers named "Optimum Sowing Dates for Rainfed Rice Crop" and
> "Integrated Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Rice Production in
> Camagüey, Cuba". They are both published in the Proceedings of this
> meeting, CD-ROM ISSN  959 - 7164 - 91 - 4
> I could be wrong of course, and maybe one of you could correct me on this,
> but as far as I know these works are the first ones ever presented in my
> country that made use of biophysical models to derive conclusions about
> agricultural issues and have been presented in an agricultural congress. I
> could say that they might be a collector item in the future.
>
> I call your attention to this no because they are mine or specially
> useful, but because I understand that this could be a first step toward
> promoting and extending the practice of using biophysical models in
> scientifical issues in my country and the agronomical community. I think
> that this is one of our objectives as a community.
>
> Anyone interested may obtain these works from me in Spanish language. But
> I could do an English translation for someone interested if I'm asked for.
> No compromise at all about this.
>
> With my best wishes to you all,
>
