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.

    The Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at theUniversity of Florida has a world-renowned program on the developmentand application of dynamic crop simulation models. The department isalso responsible for the Decision Support System for AgrotechnologyTransfer (www.DSSAT.net), one of the most widely used crop models acrossthe globe. A graduate research assistantship is available funded by theBoote Graduate Student Support program. We are looking for a highlymotivated PhD candidate who is interested in conducting research towardthe development, advancement, and application of the DSSAT cropsimulation models, including supervised, field-based experiences relatedto the student's [...]

  • Open crop modeler position on elevated CO2-response of Wheat
    by Feike, Til on June 12, 2026 at 1:22 pm

    Dear DSSAT community,We are currently inviting applications for a Research Scientist position at the Julius Kühn Institute, Institute for Crop and Soil Science, in Braunschweig, Germany. https://interamt.de/koop/app/stelle?1&id=1455074The position is part of the interdisciplinary FutureWheatProtein project, which investigates how wheat protein production can be maintained under climate change, rising atmospheric CO₂ concentrations, and increasing drought risk. The successful candidate will work on process-based crop and agroecosystem modelling, model calibration and evaluation, genotype × environment × management interactions, and the development of adaptation strategies for sustainable wheat protein production.

  • Template based approach for organizing data from field experiments
    by Jeffrey White on May 22, 2026 at 11:35 pm

    Many people in the DSSAT community have struggled with organizing dataeither from their own experiments or from colleagues compiling the datarequired to fully document field experiments. We have developed aspreadsheet template for datasets from field studies. The focus is onresearch to identify best management practices in Florida, but the formatcan be easily adapted to other studies. The work is described in thisrecently published paper: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1n8kQcFCSiv6a<https://kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fauthors.elsevier.com%2Fa%2F1n8kQcFCSiv6a/1/0102019e51660a9d-a3261e0e-c3f7-4d81-9247-947fa6d4690f-000000/fQhICe_oaIvWZM8QEyGQk5gpxsU=473>The paper includes links to a blank template, video tutorials, and exampledatasets.An important innovation in the approach is the inclusion of R scripts tofacilitate data [...]
