Whilst crop models have made significant progress in recent years, different models still diverge and struggle to predict the complex effects of genetic, environmental and management (G x E x M) variables in optimising crop production in the face of climate change.
Current crop models: State-of-the-art and future developments provides a comprehensive overview of the major crop models and the ways they address these challenges. The book explores the development of major crop models such as DSSAT, how variables such as crop variety and genetic differences are being addressed, recent model improvements and future model enhancements, as well as examples of current applications to improve crop production.
The book builds on a successful earlier volume published by Burleigh Dodds Science: Advances in crop modelling for a more sustainable agriculture (2019).

Persons
Dr Gerrit Hoogenboom is Professor and Preeminent Scholar in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at the University of Florida, USA. With over 30 years' experience and over 500 peer-reviewed publications, he is acknowledged as a global expert in crop modelling. He currently coordinates development of the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT), one of the leading crop modelling systems. Professor Hoogenboom also co-authored the chapter on DSSAT in Burleigh Dodds Science's successful 2019 title: Advances in crop modelling for a sustainable agriculture (ed. Ken Boote). Professor Hoogenboom is the Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Agricultural Science.
