Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: A software package for crop-weed phenology simulations has been developed. The package includes CPM, FITCV and EBOOK. CPM simulates crop and weed vegetative and productive growth events at field conditions. Soybean and velvetleaf are taken as the build-in-plants. FITCV generates crop parameters or data sets from user's graphical inputs or existing files. The generated results can be directly selected into a model or put into a FIT site. EBOOK, a Java graphical program, runs interactively to display simulation results on Web site . The package runs under Windows 95 and NT environment. It can directly access an Internet FTP site or a relational database such as a Microsoft Access MDB File. CPM and FITCV were developed using Microsoft Visual C++ and EBOOK was developed Using Microsoft Visual J++.
