Use of WOFOST model in agriculture-A review

To full fill the demands of increasing population for agricultural products, increases pressure on land, water, and other natural resources, to fulfils this demands and to take decision about agricultural product requires information about production, productivity of crop also for proper management and carried out intercultural operations need advanced information about crop phenology, pest and diseases presently it is possible to generate such advanced information through well validated crop growth simulation models such as CERES, WOFOST, SUCROS, and APSIM. These models provided such advanced information based on integrate the effects of different factors viz., increasing temperature, soil productivity, also consider changes in climatic on productivity. The present paper describes the review of research work done on crop simulation model as well as covers detailed information about WOFOST model.
