A Review on: Performance Evaluation of Crop Simulation Model (APSIM) in Prediction Crop Growth, Development and Yield in Semi Arid Tropics
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Crop Simulation Models (CSM) are computerized representations of crop growth, development and yield, simulated through mathematical equations as functions of soil conditions, weather and management practices.The Crop simulation models like agricultural production system simulator can save time and resources better prediction accuracy is the most important point that should be considered in decision making process.Most models are not tested or poorly tested, and hence their usefulness in decision making process is unproven.Therefore, this paper Reviews the performance of the APSIM CSM simulation accuracy with respect to the simulation of the growth, development and yield of the selected crops.APSIM model is reliable crop simulation model in predicting development, Growth and yield of different crops in the semi arid tropics.
