Setting targets: Modeling crop performance or cropping decisions

1999

Rorhbach, D.D. | Okwach, G.E.

This paper briefly reviews examples of the application of crop simulation models to develop more practical fertility management options in Zimbabwe and Kenya. The work in Kenya also considers alternative strategies for managing water runoff. The paper reviews why and how simulation models are being employed, and outlines some of the problems arising during the early stages of application. The practical targets for crop simulation modeling are reviewed.
