Growth of crops obeys certain physiological principles, which have been described, most of the times, in qualitative terms but can be quantified in response to the environment by mathematical formulae by linking the equations to each other. In process, a mathematical model is obtained that can be written as a computer program. Rapid accumulation of knowledge in the agricultural fields and increased accessibility to information technology have contributed to the development of a wide number of agricultural models. Crop simulation models can be used as a tool to assist farmer in their decisions on agronomic and management operations.
