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.

- Request to Share Job Opportunity within the DSSAT Networkby Hicham Fatnassi on December 18, 2024 at 8:46 am
Dear colleagues,I hope this email finds you well.Would it be possible for you to share the following job opportunity within the DSSAT network? We are currently offering a permanent research fellow position in the PSH Research Unit (Plants and Cropping Systems in Horticulture) at INRAE, France's National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment, located in Avignon, France. The position focuses on resource sharing (light, water, nutrients) in heterogeneous horticultural canopies with strong spatial structuring.This heterogeneity can arise from various factors implemented in agroecological production systems, such as species or variety mixtures, companion plants, or market gardening.

- PhD Opportunity in Predictive Farming at UniSQ, Australiaby Brian Collins on December 5, 2024 at 1:34 am
University of Southern Queensland is offering a prestigious PhD scholarship to transform agriculture through AI-driven weather forecasts and crop models. This project aims to optimise farm productivity, resource use, and sustainability.This project will investigate artificial intelligence (AI) to improve weather forecasts and use crop models for making better farming decisions. The expected outcome is protocols for integrating AI-enhanced weather forecasts and crop models into farm management and planning tools. This is expected to result in farmers making more informed decisions that optimise resource use, boost crop yields, and enhance overall farm productivity and profitability while minimising environmental impact. Scholarship [...]
