Predicting wheat production and development in high yield potential environments
What do the nitrogen bank, grain and graze crops, and understanding yield gaps have in common? Answer: the crop simulation model APSIM. APSIM has tested all of these ideas in low and medium yield environments. This project aims to improve APSIM for…- Project start date:
