International Center University of Florida

Development of the DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Training) modeling system is a collaborative effort based at University of Florida and led by Dr. Gerrit Hoogenboom in the Institute of Sustainable Food Systems. A fourth international DSSAT training workshop will occur in May in Griffin, GA, and will be attended by scientists and researchers from around the world. DSSAT is a software application that comprises a crop simulation model (CSM) used for a wide range of applications at different 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 water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and long-time sustainability, through the soil organic carbon and nitrogen balances.

Decision Support for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) Team Leader and Facilitator, Gerrit Hoogenboom, led a team of DSSAT experts from the University of Florida on a 5-day international training program in IITA, Ibadan. For more information, click here.
