Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we had to cancel all DSSAT workshops scheduled in 2020. We now anticipate that the situation will have improved in six months. Therefore, the DSSAT Foundation, in collaboration with the University of Florida and the International Fertilizer Development Center, is planning to host the international training program entitled DSSAT 2021 - "Assessing Crop Production, Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental Sustainability with Simulation Models" from May 17 through May 22, 2021 at the University of Georgia Campus in Griffin, Georgia, USA. The overall goal of the workshop is to familiarize the workshop participants with the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT v4.x); the Cropping System Model (CSM) for the simulation of crop growth and yield, soil and plant water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics; and the application of models to real world problems, such as crop and resource management, climate change and climate variability, carbon sequestration, food security, biofuels, and environmental sustainability.
