Extended model description It is a mechanistic model that explains crop growth on the basis of the underlying processes, such as photosynthesis, respiration and how these processes are influenced by environmental conditions. With WOFOST, you can calculate attainable crop production, biomass, water use, etc. for a location given knowledge about soil type, crop type, weather data and crop management factors (e.g. sowing date). WOFOST has been used by many researchers over the World and has been applied for many crops over a large range of climatic and management conditions. Moreover, WOFOST is implemented in the Crop Growth Monitoring System which is used operationally to monitor arable crops in Europe and to make crop yield forecasts for the current growing season.

Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address https://github.com/ajwdewit/WOFOST Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v3 Program license type other Memory requirements -- Typical run time -- Describe input parameters The input data for WOFOST is described in several tabs (General, Crop, Weather,Timer, Soil, Nutrients, Reruns). In these tabs you can choose options, edit values, and choose crop, weather, and soil files. Input format ASCII Other input format CABO-file format Describe output parameters WOFOST simulates the growth of a specific crop, given the selected soil and weather data. Crop growth is simulated using daily weather data of many years and different parameters for each relevant soil type within a region. If required for a particular study, calculated values, e.g. yields, biomasses produced or water use, can be averaged over the simulated years or aggregated over soil types. Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Other visualization software For example excel to make crop grow graphs Describe processes represented by the model In WOFOST, crop growth is simulated on the basis of eco-physiological processes. The major processes are phenological development, light interception, CO2-assimilation, transpiration, respiration, partitioning of assimilates to the various organs, and dry matter formation. Potential and water-limited growth is simulated dynamically, with a time step of one day. Nutrient-limited production is calculated statically, on the basis of soil characteristics and the water-limited production.
