dc.description.abstractCrop models have been developed and used worldwide as operational or strategic research and decision support tools in crop production and resources management. Model evaluation results in this study indicate that when using the estimated cultivar coefficients, the effects of varying nitrogen management as indicated by the agreement index were well simulated by the model. The objective of this study was to evaluate DSSAT (v4.5) Cropping System Model (CSM) using four adapted maize cultivars for quantifying model parameters. Using crop models can help develop a basis for tactical or strategic decision making towards improvements in agricultural productivity in Tanzania.en
