Crop simulation model
A Crop Simulation Model (CSM) is a simulation model that describes processes of crop growth and development as a function of weather conditions, soil conditions, and crop management.[1][2][3][4][5] Typically, such models estimate times that specific growth stages are attained, biomass of crop components (e.g., leaves, stems, roots and harvestable products) as they change over time, and similarly, changes in soil moisture and nutrient status.
They are dynamic models that attempt to use fundamental mechanisms of plant and soil processes to simulate crop growth and development. The algorithms used vary in detail, but most have a time step of one day.
Commonly used crop simulation models
- CropSyst, a multi-year multi-crop daily time-step crop simulation model developed by a team at Washington State University's Department of Biological Systems Engineering.[3]
- APSIM, the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator is a highly advanced simulator of agricultural systems. APSIM was created by CSIRO, the State of Queensland (through its Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry) and The University of Queensland in Australia.[6][7][8]
