Abstract

A simulation model for the Brazilian cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Variety IAC-17 is reported and tested successfully against an extensive set of field data. The model is stochastic in form and is considerable improvement over prior deterministic models. The effects of the 1982-83 weather conditions for Londrina, PR, on observed cotton yield is also examined.
