Crop simulation models

• DSSAT - The Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT).
• WOFOST - FORTRAN version of the WOrld FOod STudies (WOFOST) crop simulation model.
• PCSE - Python Crop Simulation Environment (PCSE/WOFOST).
• ApsimX - ApsimX is the next generation of APSIM.
• MONICA - MONICA is a dynamic, process-based simulation model which describes transport and bio-chemical turn-over of carbon, nitrogen and water in agro-ecosystems.
• Daisy-model - Daisy crop model.
• AgroTool - AgroTool crop model.
• DNDC - DNDC (i.e., DeNitrification-DeComposition) is a computer simulation model of carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry in agro-ecosystems.
• EPIC - Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) Model.
• CropSyst - CropSyst is a is a user-friendly, conceptually simple but sound multi-year multi-crop daily time step simulation model.
• AquaCrop - AquaCrop is a crop growth model developed by the Land and Water Division of FAO to address food security and to assess the effect of environment and management on crop production.
• LPJmL - The model LPJmL ("Lund-Potsdam-Jena managed Land") is designed to simulate vegetation composition and distribution as well as stocks and land-atmosphere exchange flows of carbon and water, for both natural and agricultural ecosystems.

Python
