Hello DSSAT subscribers : The DSSAT Listserver has been active for about 6 months. If you are one of the initial subscribers you willl receive a message to CONFIRM your current subscription. I hope that you will decide to stay with us. Although traffic has been slow, I feel that we have exchanged significant information. There are a lot of DSSAT, CROPGRO, CERES etc. users out there and we would like to stay in touch with you. We are continuing with the development of DSSAT and related crop models. We are expecting to release a maintenance update version of DSSAT v3.0 later this year. It might include some new application programs (linkage to GIS through ARCVIEW and others) and new crop models. Following our workshop this year at IFDC we are planning to organize another crop modeling training workshop in 1996 at the University of Georgia. Through the ICASA effort there is a collaboration to bring the "IBSAT" models and Dutch crop models closer together. We have development versions of various models for sugar cane, tomato, pasture, pea, and other crops, If you have any questions related to DSSAT, please feel free to post them to the list. Thank you for your interest.
