Current Crop Models

Dr Gerrit Hoogenboom is Professor and Preeminent Scholar in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at the University of Florida, USA. With over 30 years’ experience and over 500 peer-reviewed publications, he is acknowledged as a global expert in crop modelling. He currently coordinates development of the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT), one of the leading crop modelling systems. Professor Hoogenboom also co-authored the chapter on DSSAT in Burleigh Dodds Science’s successful 2019 title: Advances in crop modelling for a sustainable agriculture (ed. Ken Boote). Professor Hoogenboom is the Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Agricultural Science.
