This training program will familiarize the participants with the functions and the data requirements to run the ORYZA model, experimental data collection for model outputs evaluation, calibration of parameters, practical application of ORYZA, and introduction of the new features developed in the model.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the training, the participants will:
- understand the basic operations of ORYZA;
- identify and prepare the input files required for practical applications;
- understand the process & concepts of parameterization and calibration; and
- run the ORYZA model to generate outputs related to potential growth and yield, soil carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, effects of abiotic stresses, and climate change on these variables.
