CLASSIM
Crop Land And Soil Simulator
What is CLASSIM?
- CLASSIM is a graphical user interface (GUI) for a suite of models developed by USDA-ARS. The interface provides a simplified tool to assemble input data for a model simulation.
- CLASSIM simplifies the use of crop models and provides visualization of results for easy access to crop models
- Models included are MAIZSIM (Maize), SPUDSIM (Potato), GLYCIM (Soybean), GOSSYM (Cotton), and RYESIM (Cereal Rye) and the soil model (2DSOIL) which can be run for fallow situations.
Capabilities of CLASSIM
- Facilitates the entry of input of model data (weather, soil, and management)
- Advanced visualization of output data
- single and multi-season simulations
- Ability to access U.S. National weather and soil databases
- Querryable database to allow advanced data analysis
- Ability to carry out climate sensitivity analysis for water, temperature, and CO2
- Simulation of management practices including rye residue mulch, irrigation, tillage and fertilization.
