TRAINING PROGRAM ON COMPUTER SIMULATION OF CROP GROWTH
AND MANAGEMENT RESPONSES

We think that you and your readers would be interested to know that
the International Training Division at the University of Florida in
conjection with the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC),
the International Benchmark Sites Network for Agrotechnology
Transfer (IBSNAT) Project, and the International Consortium for the
Application of Systems Approaches to Agriculture (ICASA), is preparing
to offer a workshop on Computer Simulations of Crop Growth and
Management Responses from Aug. 8-19, 1994 on the campus of
the University of Florida in Gainesville.

This 2-week course, jointly conducted by the University of Florida,
IFDC, IBSNAT and ICASA emphasizes how comprehensive simulation
models of crop growth, soil water and nutrient dynamics are
developed and can be applied to cropping systems in various regions
of the world.  Extensive computer time will be devoted to the use
of the new version 3 CERES models (maize, wheat, rice, sorgum and cassava)
and the new CROPGRO models (peanut, soybean and dry bean) for crop growth,
development and response to water and nutrients.  Participants will receive
copies of all models as well as the newly released Decision Support System
for Agrotechnology Transfer Version 3.0 software package which supports
the application of the new crop simulation models.

The fee for the course is US $ 1400.
