Whilst crop models have made significant progress in recent years, different models still diverge and struggle to predict the complex effects of genetic, environmental and management (G x E x M) variables in optimising crop production in the face of climate change. Current crop models: State-of-the-art and future developments provides a comprehensive overview of the major crop models and the ways they address these challenges. The book explores the development of major crop models such as DSSAT, how variables such as crop variety and genetic differences are being addressed, recent model improvements and future model enhancements, as well as examples of current applications to improve crop production. The book builds on a successful earlier volume published by Burleigh Dodds Science: Advances in crop modelling for a more sustainable agriculture (2019). This book reviews the current range of crop models, the ways they explore the complex interplay between genetic, environmental and management (G x E x M) variables and how these can be optimised to create a more sustainable and resilient agriculture. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

With over 30 years' experience and over 500 peer-reviewed publications, he is acknowledged as a global expert in crop modelling. He currently coordinates development of the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT), one of the leading crop modelling systems. Professor Hoogenboom also co-authored the chapter on DSSAT in Burleigh Dodds Science's successful 2019 title: Advances in crop modelling for a sustainable agriculture (ed. Ken Boote). Professor Hoogenboom is the Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Agricultural Science.
Dr Claas Nendel heads the Research Group on Landscape Modelling at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), Germany. He is also Professor of Landscape Systems Analysis at the University of Potsdam. Dr Nendel is the Past President of the European Society of Agronomy and hosted, among other events, the first International Crop Modelling Symposium in Berlin in 2016. He is principal developer of the MONICA model which simulates biophysical processes in agroecosystems to allow assessment of regional impacts of climate change, and is internationally known for his contribution to agroecosystem modelling.
