Computer Models and Tools

Cropsyst

CropSyst is a simulation model jointly supported and developed by Claudio Stöckle (Project Leader), Roger Nelson, and Armen Kemanian.

Cycles

The model Cycles simulates agricultural productivity (grain, forage and biomass yield) and the water, carbon and nitrogen balance of soil-crop systems subject to different climate, soil and management constraints.
