A simulation study that included 773 simulations and assessed the full suite of crop growth modules within DSSAT-CSM was conducted for each compiler and operating system configuration.
This paper reports on the use and effectiveness of two tools used for the ex-ante evaluation of a suite of crop-livestock farming-systems R&D (research and development) projects proposed for Australian grain-growing districts.
The world's ecosystems are dominated by an increasingly homogenous and limited suite of cosmopolitan crops, livestock and creatures that get on well in environments dominated by humans.
The Senate put some of that savings into a suite of generous crop insurance programs that will protect farmers against both natural disaster and market fluctuations.
Our study presents a suite of standing crop measures that exhibit close congruence, can be measured efficiently and minimise destructive sampling in situ, attributes which will aid in the design and implementation of future macrophyte measurement protocols for shallow rivers.
The models reviewed in this chapter are derived quite independently from one another and for very different purposes: ALES (Automated Land Evaluation System) is a computerized framework for allowing expert judgment to estimate crop and consequent economic production, and DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) is an explicit suite of models of crop plant production.
The C4 grasses maize, sorghum, switchgrass and Mischanthus feature prominently in the suite of dedicated bioethanol crops due to attributes such as high yields, growth on marginal lands and drought tolerance [ 27, 29– 31].
But it's less so that most of us just don't get the fact that all human existence – even now, with our smartphones and our daily chat about what is cool and what is not – is ultimately dependent on a suite of about 30 crop plants, and that without them we are dead.
Hammer (1984) first used the term 'domestication syndrome' to describe this suite of changes in seed crops, and the term has been popularized by Harlan (1992) and others (e.g. Koinange et al., 1996).
Their suite of apps (Tempo, Fly and Crop) will be made available for the next three months.
