Calculating optimal cropping conditions for sustainable agriculture

Picture copyright BERGEZ et al.

As for weather forecasting, agronomists use mathematical models to calculate the best cropping conditions suitable to local fields. Actually two kind of models are available, biophysical models and decision models. Bergez et al. have developed a new plugin that merges the two model types, thus allowing to calculate the impact of agricultural practices on the biophysical system, e.g. soil and plants.
