General
WOFOST is a model that can simulate the growth of any annual crop at any location. To facilitate this, the crop, soil and weather parameters and data are stored in separate data files. Production analyses and yield forecasting at the regional, national and continental scales can easily be done by doing simulation runs for combinations of soil, crop and weather types representative for the studied area. The crop growth simulation approach is similar to that in the SUCROS model. See for more information, the WOFOST model website on:
