Modelling leaching losses from grazed systems¶

Posted:17th August 2011¶

Leaching losses from grazed systems are notoriously hard to measure and to model because they are primarily generated from the deposition of urine patches and are therefore very spatially variable. Researchers from AgResearch in New Zealand have validated the ability of APSIM to predict leaching from urine patches in grazed systems and some of that work has been presented at the annual Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre Workshop “Adding to the Knowledge Base for the Nutrient Manager” earlier this year. Papers presented include work on leaching losses from urine patches, pre-experimental modelling on the interaction of fertiliser and urine patches, and nitrification inhibitors to reduce leaching.

The APSIM Initiative hosts a visitor from Plant and Food Research¶

Posted:9th June 2011¶

Recently, the APSIM Initiative hosted a visit from Hamish Brown (Plant and Food Research, New Zealand). Hamish is helping the Initiative build a new version of the generic plant model (Plant2) in APSIM by adding in new functionality and parameterising it for Potato. Using many of the new software techniques outlined here, a lot of new functionality is being added to PLANT2 so that it becomes sufficiently generic to be able to simulate grain crops, legumes, pastures and tree crops.
