Project Number: 1275-61660-004-16
Project Type: Specific Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Sep 19, 2007
End Date: Aug 31, 2012

Objective:
Collect data from growers fields, experimental station research plots, and controlled environmental chamber studies. Use these data to refine and improve existing simulation models for corn, soybean, potato, and cotton crops. Evaluate the models under a range of environmental and management conditions.

Approach:
Evaluate the knowledge gaps for CSGCL crop and soil process models and design and conduct controlled environmental studies to develop new data for model development, and validation of the models. The model verifications, validation, and application will be conducted before release of the models to on-farm use by the growers.
