The WOFOST crop growth simulation model was selected, when the JRC (i.e. European Commission) requested Alterra (formerly SC-DLO) and Plant Research International (formerly AB-DLO) in Wageningen, The Netherlands, to develop, adapt and calibrate new or existing agro-meteorological simulation models for 10-day routine quantitative forecasting of national and regional yields and qualitative monitoring of the growth conditions for the whole EU for different kinds of crops. WOFOST is a member of the family of crop growth models developed in Wageningen by the school of C.T. de Wit. The first WOFOST model has been documented by Wolf et al. (1986) and it was originally developed to assess yield potential of various annual crops in tropical countries (van Keulen & Wolf, 1986; van Diepen et al., 1988; van Keulen & van Diepen, 1990). Over the last ten years, the successive WOFOST versions have been used in many studies. WOFOST has been applied as a tool for the analysis of yield risk and inter-annual yield variability, of yield variability over soil types, or over a range of agro hydrological conditions, of differences between cultivars, of relative importance of growth determining factors, of sowing strategies, effects of climate change, critical periods for use of agricultural machinery and others. Recently, the version WOFOST 7.1.2. is in use.
