The Art of Crop Modelling
Developing the Next Generation Crop Model Developers
To be announced
Scope
This course teaches the principles of crop growth modelling for early career researchers. Crop models allow to simulate the growth and development of annual and perennials crops, often in interaction with the environment (i.e. soil, nitrogen, water, air). Many different models are available, a recent inventory lead to a total of 250. This course focuses on the core aspects of these models, in the representation of processes of growth and development through dynamic modelling techniques. Different approaches for growth and development will be presented. Next to these theoretical aspects, applications of crop growth models will be illustrated with a focus on use of these models in yield forecasting systems. Participants will be challenged in groups and individually through exercises, with a closing session of presentations of the main findings.
