This paper looks at the applicability of three management oriented simulation models that are being evaluated by the environmental Sciences Division at ILCA. Basically the three models (CERES-maize NITROSIM and SCUAF) have been designed to simulate crop growth and development and crop yields, as ...

Maize/Annual forage legumes mixed cropping systems: Characterizing water and Nitrogen dynamics in maize/vetch pure and mixed stands. II. Criteria for model selection and minimum data sets requirements for model use and verification
This document starts by describing the five main agroecological zones of sub-Saharan Africa, viz, arid, semi-arid, subhumid, humid, and highland, and summarising population and agricultural production. Then it goes to the main topics that includes inter cropping systems; criteria for evaluating t...
