Hello Caning,

Unfortunately progress on the manuals has been slow. However, we are
planning to release an update for DSSAT v4.0.2.0 soon which will
include updates for many of the DSSAT programs.

You might want to look at the web site www.AgClimate.Org for an
example application of the crop models for climate variability. The
yield tool is based on the simulations with the CSM-CROPGRO-Peanut model.

We currently do not have any information for maize from the Philippines.

Regards,

Gerrit
