Title: Yield component modeling in Cereals Name: Alagarswamy, G Institution: Michigan State Univeristy, E.Lansing Current location: East Lansing, Michigan , USA Yrs experience in modelling: 15 Keywords: CERES models, Yield component modelling, Resource evaluation and Risk analysis, Model validation Crops: Wheat, Maize, Sorghum, Pearl Millet, Soy beans, and Chick Pea Models: DSSAT suite of models Application: Natural resource evaluation, Risk analysis, Climate Change effects, evaluation of models using standard data sets Summary: Relate cereal yield components to cumulative photosynthetically active radiation during panicle growth period and use the concept to revise yield simulation. Apply crop models to evaluate the climate change effects on crop production. <br><br><br> ************************************************************* ALAGARSWAMY Plant and Soil Sciences Building Department of Crop and Soil Sciences Michigan State University E Lansing MI 48824 1325 U.S.A.
