What is DSSAT?

Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) is a windows-based software application program that comprises dynamic crop growth simulation models for over 45 crops. DSSAT is supported by a range of utilities and apps for weather, soil, genetic, crop management, and observational experimental data, and includes example data sets for all crop models. The crop simulation models simulate growth, development and yield as a function of the soil-plant-atmosphere dynamics. DSSAT has been applied to address many real-world problems and issues ranging from genetic modeling to on-farm and precision management, regional assessments of the impact of climate variability and climate change, economic and environmental sustainability, and food and nutrition security. DSSAT has been used for more than 30 years by researchers, educators, consultants, extension agents, growers, private industry, policy and decision makers, and many others in over 198 countries worldwide.
