Crop modelling involves the systematic application of mathematical techniques to quantify how a crop responds to its surrounding environment. By incorporating daily weather variables like sunlight, temperature range and precipitation data these models accurately emulate multiple aspects of crop behavior. However, to achieve comprehensive crop simulation additional data such as soil characteristics, initial soil quality, cultivar traits and crop management details are also integrated. With this diverse array of data crop models can effectively replicate the intricate processes of crop development (phenology), biomass accumulation, yield as well as water and nutrient uptake. As a result crop simulation models serve as a powerful tool to extract quantitative insights from agronomy and physiology research enabling us to comprehend and predict crop growth and development effectively. The agricultural sector has greatly benefited from the valuable contributions of these models. Specifically, crop models play a crucial role in exploring the intricate connections between the atmosphere, plants and soil.
