Abstract

Summary: PDSSAT 4.0 is a crop model commonly used to quantify the climate change impact on agriculture production. The model objective is to predict the duration of growth, average growth rates and the amount of assimilate partitioned to the economic yield components of the plant. A model structure is comprehensively described in this paper. The input parameters were used from NSSC 640 maize nine year field experiment from Rimski Šančevi in Novi Sad and climate data were given by Republic Hydrometeorology Service of Serbia (RHSS) for current climate, as well as for 2030 and 2050 using three climate models (ECHAM5, HadCM3 and NCAR-PCM) under two scenarios (A1B SRES and A2 SRES).
