Model studies focus experimental investigations to improve our
understanding and performance of systems. Concentrating on crop
modeling, this book provides an introduction to the concepts of crop
development, growth, and yield, with step-by-step outlines to each
topic, suggested exercises and simple equations. A valuable text for
students and researchers of crop development alike, this book is written
in five parts that allow the reader to develop a solid foundation and
coverage of production models including water- and nitrogen-limited
systems.
