DSSAT Mailing List

A mailing list for DSSAT users and others interested in crop model development, crop model applications and decision support systems has been established at the University of Georgia and is being mirrored at Google Groups. Please feel free to share general questions, concerns, successes, messages and thoughts related to DSSAT and its application to the DSSAT Listserv.  We currently have more than 20,200 unique e-mail addresses on the DSSAT listserver for people who are interested in crop modeling and decision support systems. For specific DSSAT problems and errors, please use “Contact Us” to avoid unnecessary e-mail clutter.

    Dear DSSAT colleagues,I would be grateful if you could circulate the following opportunity within your networks.A postdoctoral position is currently available in the Agronomy and Field Crops group<https://agronomy-field-crops-group-ucsc.vercel.app/>, Department of Sustainable Crop Production (DI.PRO.VE.S.), Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Piacenza, Northern Italy.The position is primarily funded within the Horizon Europe project LILAS4SOILS – Fostering Carbon Farming Practices through Living Labs in the Mediterranean and Southern EU for the healthy future of European soils (HORIZON-MISS-2023-SOIL-01-09: Carbon farming in living labs), and will offer opportunities for interaction with other ongoing European projects involving our group, including SOILBIOMASS+ (HORIZON-MISS-2025-05-SOIL-07: Supporting [...]

  • Invitation to participate in the MACSUR ScipolNet survey
    by Marco Carozzi on September 18, 2026 at 12:25 pm

    Dear Colleague,MACSUR ScipolNet<https://www.faccejpi.net/posts/macsur-scipolnet> (Modelling European Agriculture with Climate Change for Food Security: Science-Policy Network) builds on the MACSUR project and aims to strengthen the science-policy dialogue and support evidence-based policy development for greenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture.As part of the project, we are conducting a short questionnaire to identify gaps in existing crop simulation models that may limit their effectiveness in supporting decision-making by farmers and policy-makers.

  • FM-Rice EOI: Regional data and research partnerships
    by Valdivia, Roberto O on September 14, 2026 at 8:05 am

    Dear DSSAT community,Apologies for any cross-posting.FM-Rice is an emerging international collaboration supported by the Global Methane Hub (GMH). Its purpose is to connect greenhouse gas measurements with crop and GHG modeling and regional integrated assessments of low-emission rice systems. By bringing together biophysical evidence, farm and livelihood analysis, and regional policy and institutional conditions, FM-Rice aims to identify mitigation options that are technically credible, economically feasible, and appropriate for different rice-producing regions and farm households.
