Recent Evaluations and Applications of a Cassava Model in Thailand: A Review
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cassava is an important economic crop in Thailand. The cassava simulation model, under the Crop Simulation Model of Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer package (DSSAT-CSM), has been evaluated and widely applied to simulate, evaluate and predict cassava production systems and related policy scenarios. This is the first review on the system modeling and simulation approach on cassava studies in Thailand, with an emphasis on its applications and future research directions. Various research teams were also trying to explore the site-specific technology, but still in the early stage of development. Availability of reliable data sets for model calibration and evaluation is one of the main issue that users are facing with. Therefore, future needs on the development of reliable input data sets for model testing under diverse cassava production ecosystems in Thailand are required.
