Main objective of the course: The aim of this course is to ensure
that all students acquire the knowledge and skills in simulation of crop growth
and yield, soil and plant water relations, nutrient and carbon dynamics and
their application to real world problems.

Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, the
students should be able to
- Explain the topology of models and overall
principles of processed – based model
- Describe the basic concepts of modeling
crops-weather-soil-management relationship and interaction
- ·Demonstrate various components in a selected
system model (APSIM/DSSAT) file system to simulate the potential production
- Calibrate the selected system model (APSIM) for
genetic coefficients from sample data sets
- Evaluate the calibrated model using statistical
approaches
- Simulate the crop growth and development under
real world scenarios
- Explain the importance of cropping system
modelling to sustainable crop production
