Chuck, would it be possible to have the list give
potmod@beta.tricity.wsu.edu
as the address for requesting info and reporting problems?

That would keep my mail separated better.

I am working with late blight forecasting. I would be very interested
receiving the mathematical formula that you are using for such models.

In particular I would like to know the formula that you are using for max
and min temperatures plus humididty in.

Also is there any one using formula with leaf wetness instead of
humidity.

We now have 40+ subscribers to pot-mod-l. I think that this is a
good time to have everyone introduce themselves briefly and say
something about their expectations, needs, fears, etc. from a
potato modeling network. Also those who participated in the 2nd
International Potato Modeling Workshop in Wageningen might tell us
some of their impressions from it. Send messages for the list to:

pot-mod-L@unl.edu

and include your name and email address in the text.

If there are problems, email to potmod@beta.tricity.wsu.edu. If
you need me to post your messages, just send them to
potmod@beta.tricity.wsu.edu with a line telling me that they need
posting. Also send problems with subscribing there.

I will get things started.

I am Tom Hodges (thodges@beta.tricity.wsu.edu) and I am the
principal developer of the SIMPOTATO potato growth simulation model.
SIMPOTATO is primarily aimed at simulating potato responses to daily
weather, soil conditions, and water and nitrogen applications. It
can be used for yield prediction, estimation of seasonal water and
nitrogen requirements, and water/nitrogen application scheduling.
It requires additional testing before it should be used as a
critical component of a commercial farming operation where profit/
loss would depend on its performance. SIMPOTATO is available by
anonymous ftp from ftp.tricity.wsu.edu or on MS-DOS floppy disks
from me.

I hope to be able to make major improvements and additions to the
SIMPOTATO model through the modeling network. One type of
improvement is replacing model components for particular plant
and soil processes with more accurate or more flexible modules.
Another type of improvement is adding modules for new processes
such as insect growth and feeding or attack by diseases and fungi.
Another area is testing the model for a broader range of cultivars,
soils, management systems, and climates than are available in the
cool, arid region where I am located.

sir
i tried to get a copy of your SIMPOTATo model at the ftp.tricity.wsu.edu, under
the ananymous login, but the system is not letting me in and it is asking for a
passwd, i ll be glad if you can help me in solving this problem

Potato modelers!

I'm Steve Modena (samodena@csemail.cropsci.ncsu.edu)
(nmodena@unity.ncsu.edu)
(modena@sunsite.unc.edu)

and I'm interested in ag modeling from two points-of-view:

1) I curate an agronomy subsection on the SunSITE machine
in Chapel Hill, NC...that machine was set up in a
cooperative effort between UNC-Chapel Hill/Office of
Information Technology and Sun Microsystems, RTP, NC
as a public FTP site especially for modeling software,
of any type. Therefore, I'm publically offering to
provide space for anyone's modeling software...whatever
target machine...as long as it is agricultural in nature,
very loosely defined. Source code, binaries, documentation,
bibliographies, theses, etc.

Your materials would be as current as you deem necessary
and are willing to transmitt updates, whether by diskette
postal mail or by Internet file transfer. You would
retain ownership and *liability* --if any-- for your
deposited materials. You would of course retain the
automatic right to withdraw any and all of your
contributed materials at any time for any reason--or
no reason.

Given that this would be a public archive designed to
be retrieved *anonymously* by whomever...it goes without
saying that there can be no preconditions placed on
who can retrieve those files....this would be an ftp
archive open to the *World*.

I welcome submissions for consideration, enquiries and
discussion. I would also be pleased to offer this facility as
a "second" source archive, and would cooperate to keep it
synchronized to its primary ftp archive.

2) I'm interested in developing interfaces to ag-models with
the aim of transferring the use of those models to ag
end users, whether they be producers, advisors or policy
makers....and I'd like to explore general design methods
that would allow plug and play of modules between various
workers...my vantage point being that I'm not married to
your personal model (as you may be) and might see how to
how to integrate components among various modeling styles.

Frankly, given the desk top power available today, there is
little reason for models not to be in wide usage!

felicitous tuberizations to all.

i am derek lactin, currently at the agriculture canada research station in
lethbridge alberta. i am a crop-protection entomologist, and my interest in
potato simulation lies at the point of insect attack. in my ph.d thesis i
developed and validated models of temperature-dependent development and
feeding by larval colorado potato beetles. these worked remarkably well
(blush), but must still be linked to a potato production model in order to find
general application.
