Model studies focus experimental investigations to improve our understanding and
performance of systems. Concentrating on crop modeling, this book provides an
introduction to the concepts of crop development, growth, and yield, with
step-by-step outlines to each topic, suggested exercises and simple equations. A
valuable text for students and researchers of crop development alike, this book
is written in five parts that allow the reader to develop a solid foundation and
coverage of production models including water- and nitrogen-limited systems.
