APSIM

World-leading agricultural systems model simulating crops, soil and water processes end to end.

Details

APSIM (Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator) was developed by Australia's Agricultural Production Systems Research Unit (APSRU) and is one of the most widely used crop-soil system models in the world. APSIM Next Generation (NG) uses a modular architecture and supports major crops such as maize, wheat, rice and soybean, as well as soil carbon and nitrogen and water dynamics simulation.

Use cases: crop growth simulation, climate change impact assessment, fertiliser optimisation, yield forecasting
