    Name
    LINTUL5
    Program type
    FORTRAN
    Available since
    Description

    LINTUL-5 is a simple crop growth model to simulate crop growth of many different crops under potential, water limited, N limited and NPK limited crop growth conditions

    Scale of application
    field
    Spatial resolution
    ha
    Key outputs

    Crop production under potential, water limited, N limited and NPK limited conditions; leaf area index; yield;  water use by crop transpiration and soil evaporation, soil water balance, simple soil N, P and K balances; crop's N, P and K uptake 

    Time horizon
    crop growth period
    Time step of modeling
    day
    Required to run

    For  only running the model and only changing the input files, this can be done without FORTRAN by the command LINTUL5.exe

    Required to develop

    For changing and running the LINTUL5 programme, a FORTRAN compiler is required

    Background information
    Articles

    Article about the LINTUL model applied to rice for both potential, water limited and N limited conditions is given by Shibu (see attachment)

    Examples

    The comparable LINTUL4 model is currently applied in the AgMIP model comparison for wheat models under climatic change. Results are not yet available

    Applications & Use

    See under Examples.
