The Training Workshop on Crop Simulation Modelling and Effects of Climate Risks on Agricultural Production Systems in Southeast Asia (HatriCSM2019) has concluded. We would like to express our gratitude to speakers, sponsors and all trainees who contributed to the success of the workshop.
Please check this page for event photos and remarks.
HatriCSM2019 is a five-day event where participants have the chance to learn about DSSAT-CSM
Dates: March 05-09, 2019
Location: High Agricultural Technology Research Institute for Mekong Delta (HATRI), Can Tho City, Vietnam.
Over the past 35 years Vietnamese farmers have been adapting to the changing environmental conditions by modifying and diversifying their production systems and water management. But the recent and forecasted agro-hydrological changes threaten the viability of these farming and social systems and subsequently food security in Vietnam. Some significant constraints which limit the ability of the farmers to adapt strategies include the availability of suitable cultivars, soil nutrient management options etc. However, sequestration and other environmental sustainability have become vital for improved crop production. Therefore, crop simulation models make an important contribution to both advancing our understanding of the developments that determine crop responses and predicting crop performance, resource use and environmental impacts for different environmental and management scenarios.
Applications of DSSAT-CSM model to improve management of cropping systems and its associated crop simulation models such as CERES.
Minimum data requirements and experimental data collection for system simulations using window-based Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) version 4.7 software (www.DSSAT.org).
Strengthening technical and scientific abilities by enhancing collaboration between National Agricultural Research System (NARS), policymakers, and local communities with International organizations.
University graduates currently engage in crop production or agro-ecosystems related research, teaching, planning, extension and outreach.
Have understanding of crop and soil science and be relatively familiar with the terminology used in these fields.
Selected participants should be familiar with PC and Windows OS.
Must understand English as the workshop will be mainly conducted in this language.
