DSSAT 2012 - International Training Program

The University of Georgia, in collaboration with Washington State University, the University of Florida and various other institutions,
will host a Training Program on DSSAT entitled "Assessing Crop Production, Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental
Sustainability with Simulation Models" from May 14 through May 19, 2012 at the University of Georgia Campus in Griffin, Georgia, USA. The overall goal of the workshop is to familiarize the workshop participants with the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) and the Cropping System Model (CSM) for the simulation of crop growth and yield, soil and plant water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics, and the application of models to real world problems, such as crop and resource management, climate change and climate variability, carbon sequestration, food security, biofuels, and environmental sustainability. For further information, please visit the DSSAT Foundation web site at www.dssat.net or the workshop registration web site at http://www.ugagriffincontinuinged.com/dssat2012.
