All,Burleigh Dodds will shortly be publishing a new book entitled "*CurrentCrop Models - State-of-the-art and future developments*." The bookincludes 20 chapters of the most common crop simulation models.Pre-orders of the book can receive a 20% discount using the GH20 code.The attached brochure provides further information about the book or youcan go to the following link:https://www.bdspublishing.com/webshop/books/agricultural-science-series/crops/agri-tech/data-management/current-crop-models-state-of-the-art-and-future-developments/ [...]

Researchers often struggle to organize data from field experiments in a waythat ensures the work is fully documented and can readily be re-analyzed orused with models or other tools. The Florida Crop BMP Template is a simplespreadsheet-based tool for organizing data in a consistent fashion.Structured using categories similar to DSSAT’s file-X, file-A, file-T,weather and soil files, the template should prove easy to understand anduse in the DSSAT community.
