[AgMIP] Postgraduate Course on Crop Physiology & Modeling

[agmip at lists.agmip.org]

The C.T. De Wit Graduate School Production Ecology & Resource 
Conservation at Wageningen University in collaboration with the 
University of Florida, is offering a 6-day Postgraduate Course for PhD 
candidates and other academics entitled "Fundamentals of Crop Physiology
and Climate Change: Understanding Fundamental Processes to Counter the 
Challenge." The course is scheduled from May 5-10, 2019 in the Congress 
Centre "De Werelt" in Lunteren, the Netherlands.  Course lecturers 
include Ken Boote, Paul Struik, Jochem  Evers, Melanie Correll, and many 
others.  The course will focus on the fundamental knowledge and insight 
one must have about crops to be able to adapt agronomic practices to the 
changing world. The toolbox in this course will be a variety of plant 
and crop models. The overall goal of this course is to understand the 
effects of temperature, light, CO2, and water on the carbon source-sink 
relationships of plants and to improve the underlying models.
