Description
Brown Walker Press (FL) Introduction to Mathematical Modeling of Crop Growth by Christopher Teh
Learning mathematical modeling need not be difficult. Unlike other books this book not only lists the equations onebyone but explains in detail how they are each derived used and finally assembled into a computer program for model simulations. This book shows how mathematics is applied in agriculture in particular to modeling the growth and yield of a generic crop. Topics covered are agriculture meteorology solar radiation interception and absorption evapotranspiration energy and soil water balance soil water flow photosynthesis respiration and crop growth development. Rather than covering many modeling approaches but in superficial detail this book selects one or two widelyused modeling approaches and discusses about them in depth. Principles learned from this book equips readers when they encounter other modeling approaches or when they develop their own crop models.show more
