Its main output variables consist of crop variables (like total biomass, yield, phenological development and leaf area index) and soil variables like soil water content. More recent versions of WOFOST also include the N/P/K amounts in the crop organs and soil.N/P/K amounts in the crop organs and soil. +
In WOFOST, crop growth is simulated on the … 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. Further, the interaction with the soil is included in relation to soil moisture availability and (in more recent version) also soil N/P/K availability. </br>Potential and water-limited growth is simulated dynamically, with a time step of one day. Nutrient-limited production is calculated either statically based on the QUEFTS approach (on the basis of soil characteristics and the water-limited production output) or dynamically using nutrient demand/supply at daily time steps.utrient demand/supply at daily time steps. +

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. WOFOST is one of the key components of the European MARS crop yield forecasting system. In the Global Yield Gap Atlas (GYGA) WOFOST is used to estimate the untapped crop production potential on existing farmland based on current climate and available soil and water resources.te and available soil and water resources. +
