Abstract:
On-line dynamic simulation of response of 25 crops to applications of
nitrogen fertilizers in 133 different climatic zones world-wide.
Effects of organic material such as crop debris are taken into account.
Results include effects on plant growth, soil conditions and leaching.
Supporting documentation, diagrams and references are also on-line.
This is a World Wide Web installation.

NCRM is the simplified Internet version of the
N_ABLE Nitrogen
Model, a stand-alone program developed at Horticulture Research International (HRI),
UK by Clive Rahn and Ann Draycott (based on
research models of Duncan Greenwood and Ann Draycott)
