For pearl millet we already have significant number of crop simulation models but not for millets: barnyard millet, proso millet, etc. Please throw light on their availability.
Hi @shivani, I do not know the methodology of your project but in the first approach you could apply Montecarlo simulation (if it has not used yet)
For example , the distribution parameters acquired from pearl millet is possible to apply to the new model
Best regards, José
Hello José De Luca actually I want to use crop simulation model to study the climate change impact on barnyard/finger millet, so a significant number of CSMs are available for Pearl millet but I haven't come across any for other millets. I wanted to know if such CSMs are available. Does Montecarlo simulation support it??
Hi @Shivani , I suggest you use Crystal Ball , a Montecarlo simulation software developed by Oracle Inc.
It runs with Excell spreadsheet , you need to build your model in an Excell file linking the cells that they stores variables , formulas and parameters.
I noticed about this software when I teach as Operation Research professor in many careers of my university ( engineering , management , economy ) because Crystal Ball is used in one of my most popular book (Operation Research in Management Science) , authors : Eppen , Gould and Schmidt.
If you visit Oracle site and look forward Crystal Ball You can download a version one month free
I build many agricultar model similar to your millet using CB , because this software is very useful if You don't have the probanility distribution of the variables .
It has three type of variables : assumption , decision and forecasting
In assumption variables You can select the most fit of the distribution probanility and with few data You find the parameters of the distribution selected
Best regards, José
