Abstract

The present paper describes the review of research work done on simulation of phenology and yield attributing characters of legume crops through DSSATand Info Crop model. Crop simulation models are state of the art technology that allows a user to estimate crop growth and yield as a function of weather conditions and management scenarios. Crop simulation model accurately simulates crop growth development and yield for various legume crops at different location. Sometimes model simulations were under/overestimated yield and yield attributing parameters, but the trend followsgood association between actual and simulated responses.
