DSSAT 2010 - International Training Workshop on Modeling

[Gerrit Hoogenboom]

The University of Georgia, in collaboration with the International
Consortium for Agricultural Systems Applications (ICASA) and various
other institutions, will host a Training Program on DSSAT Version 4.5
entitled "Assessing Crop Production, Nutrient Management, Climatic
Risk and Environmental Sustainability with Simulation Models" from May
10 through May 19, 2010 at the University of Georgia Campus in
Griffin, Georgia, USA. The overall goal of the workshop is to
familiarize the workshop participants with the Decision Support System
for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) and the Cropping System Model
(CSM) for the simulation of crop growth and yield, soil and plant
water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics, and the application of models to
real world problems, such as crop and resource management, climate
change and climate variability, carbon sequestration, food security,
biofuels, and environmental sustainability. For further information,
