Agricultural Systems Modeling & Simulation (ASMS)

        Modeing and simulation of agricultural systems is an integral part of the DSSARM group at MCC. Modeling activities center around developing and testing crop and watershed models to be used as a tool in making decision, visualizing consequences of those decisions at different system levels ranging from field, farm, watershed and regional levels.

        Modeling group at MCC has a strong link with ICASA group at the University of Hawaii, USA, and Agricultural University at Wageningen, the Netherlands. The group is currently using DSSAT software package in combination with other watershed level models, ie., SWRRBWQ and the ROAM model to address questions related agricultural systems questions at different levels. These models allow simulation of complex biophysical and socioeconomic processes, which is the basic requirement to gain a better understand and to predict and to provide reliable outputs of the systems being investigated.

MCC Capabilities

        Aforementioned, ASMS unit is a small, but fully integrated in the multidisciplinary research unit DSSARM, has developed facilities and capabilities that can offer wide range of skills and products in the following areas:
