CROP - Decision Support System for Crop Production

Up to the present everybody realize that the modern agriculture leads to degradation of natural ecosystems and ecological potential, and can be considered as a serious polluter of environment. So it’s necessary to apply only those agricultural practices which minimize the processes of degradation and provide sustainable growth strategies. One of the most powerful method of analysis of development alternatives is mathematical and computer modeling. For natural ecosystems this approach is particular important. From one hand, it’s very risky and expensive to make experiments with real system. From the other hand, models can simulate long-term consequences, which help planners to evaluate different strategies.
