Gerrit Hoogenboom, I was interested to read that you may have a model for sugarcane. I am currently trying to model soil organic matter changes under sugarcane after rainforest clearing and a crop model would be useful to obtain residue and root input data. Is your sugarcane model available? Best wishes, Georg Cadisch >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. > >Gerrit Hoogenboom > >Gerrit Hoogenboom >Associate Professor >Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering >The University of Georgia >Griffin, Georgia 30223-1797, USA > >Phone: 770-228-7216 >FAX: 770-228-7218 >E-Mail: [log in to unmask] > >Please note the new area code 770 ! >
