Principles of crop modeling and simulation: I. uses of mathematical models in agricultural science

Princípios de modelagem e simulação: I. uso de modelos matemáticos em agricultura

Modeling techniques applied to agriculture can be useful to define research priorities and understanding the basic interactions of the soil-plant-atmosphere system. Using a model to estimate the importance and the effect of certain parameters, a researcher can notice which factors can be most useful. The modeler should define his objectives before beginning his work and construct a model that fulfills the proposed objectives.
