About the Book
Climate change is the major concern to sustain the agriculture productivity across the globe. The significant damage caused by negative impact of climate change on agro-based commodities further aggravates the food insecurity to ever increasing world population. Making right decision at right time by farmers in changing farming practices and use of new technologies will help to reduce the adverse impact. Therefore, under such circumstances use of crop growth simulation models to study the potential impact of climate change and climate variability provide a direct link between models, agro meteorology and society concern. Present book provides insight into the one of the important crop growth simulation models, DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agro technology Transfer) and its practical utility in conducting long-term agronomical trails under changing scenarios to optimise agro inputs, crop planning, varietal selection, identification of suitable planting dates and statistical evaluation of experiments with some other useful tips to use DSSAT model in various crops and cropping system in general and soybean in particular.
