Modelling crop growth in salt-affected soils with the (DSSAT) | 22 April 2025, online

Описание: The INSAS webinar Modelling crop growth in salt-affected soils with the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) took place virtually on April 22, 2025. The webinar is the tenth in a series of webinars organized by the International Network of Salt-Affected Soils of the Global Soil Partnership, an initiative which is aimed at raising awareness on sustainable management of salt-affected soils for food security, agricultural sustainability and climate change mitigation. This event was designed to enhance skills and build capacity in using dynamic computer models for the simulation of crop growth, development and yield in general but with emphasis on areas affected by drought and salinity. DSSAT and its crop simulation models have been utilized for a wide range of applications across various spatial and temporal scales. This includes on-farm and precision management, regional assessments of the impact of climate variability and climate change, gene-based modeling and breeding selection, crop water use, greenhouse gas emissions, climate-smart agriculture, bioenergy, agrivoltaics, and long-term sustainability through the soil organic carbon and nitrogen balances.
