In his career Baker keeps returning not to a single terrain but to four distinct areas, like a farmer practicing crop rotation.
Simulation scenarios were developed based on field management practices, crop rotations, soil properties, and climatic data.
The model is able to simulate management practices (crop, manure and mineral fertiliser allocation).
The improved APSIM model was tested against diverse, replicated experimental datasets for rice-based cropping systems, representing a spectrum of geographical locations (Australia, Indonesia and Philippines), soil types, management practices, crop species, varieties and sequences.
Introducing appropriate interventions such as conservation tillage, fertilizer rates, agro-forestry practices, crop rotation, exclosure degraded lands, and conservation measures based on the kriged soil properties maps produced is crucial for sustainable production and environmental services.
