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.

- 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 [...]
