Current crop models: State-of-the-art and future developments

Code: 9781801469722
Publication Date: 23/12/2025
Extent: 600 pages
Series No: 170

Edited by: Professor Gerrit Hoogenboom, University of Florida, USA

Description

Whilst crop models have made significant progress in recent years, different models still diverge and struggle to predict the complex effects of genetic, environmental and management (G x E x M) variables in optimising crop production in the face of climate change.

Current crop models: State-of-the-art and future developments provides a comprehensive overview of the major crop models and the ways they address these challenges. The book explores the development of major crop models such as DSSAT, how variables such as crop variety and genetic differences are being addressed, recent model improvements and future model enhancements, as well as examples of current applications to improve crop production.

The book builds on a successful earlier volume published by Burleigh Dodds Science: Advances in crop modelling for a more sustainable agriculture (2019).

Key Features

  • Provides a comprehensive overview of the main crop models developed in North America, Europe, Asia and the Pacific
  • Considers how current crop models can be improved with future enhancements, such as the incorporation of genetics
  • Details examples of current applications of crop models, focussing on genotype-environment-management (G x E x M) interactions
