Presented by The University of Georgia and the International Consortium for Agricultural Systems Applications (ICASA)

The University of Georgia in collaboration with the International Consortium for Agricultural Systems Applications (ICASA) is organizing a Training Program on DSSAT Version 4, Assessing Crop Production, Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental Sustainability with Simulation Models.  The overall goal of this workshop is to familiarize the participants with a comprehensive computer model for the simulation of crop growth and development, yield and biomass production, and soil and plant water, nutrient and carbon dynamics and their application to real world problems.  The workshop will make extensive use of DSSAT V4.5 and the Cropping System Model (CSM), which includes CERES, CROPGRO, CROPSIM, CENTURY,  and other modules. The workshop will be held from May 12 through May 21, 2008 at the University of Georgia in Griffin, Georgia, USA. The cost of the workshop is $1,500.
