Adding a New Crop

Top  Previous  Next

When a new crop is added to DSSAT, cultivar coefficients for this crop can also be estimated after adding appropriate information in the ParameterProperty.xls file if the naming conventions for measurements and simulated outputs are standardized and the same as for other crops. However, if headers are different for a new crop, then additional information must be added to MeasurementVariances.xls file. The MeasurementVariance.xls file shows how additional sheets in the spreadsheet must be set up for the crop.
