New pulse varieties #76

Open yashvirchauhan opened 3 years ago

yashvirchauhan commented 3 years ago

To keep APSIM up to date we need to include latest varieties. A new list of Australian pulse varieties is attached. Similar list should be available for soybean and peanuts. We should strive to negotiate respective breeding programs to set aside some money to parameterise new cultivars as and when they are released if the APSIM initiative is unable to meet such expenses from its own resources. Just a thought. Pulse Variety Charts 20201028-opt.pdf

As per discussion and action from RP meeting: @yashvirchauhan to draft guidelines on how to set up a new cultivar, with information on how to submit back to the AI.

@yashvirchauhan - any update/progress on drafting guidelines on how to set up a new cultivars

Thanks. Will get back to you soon. Working on a draft.

Hi I have drafted new set of guidelines that could replace the old guideline for APSIM Classic. Comments welcome. Guidelines for adding new cultivars to an existing crop module_17032021.docx

@APSIMInitiative/reference-panel - we will assume everyone is happy with this?

We will add to - https://www.apsim.info/documentation/model-documentation/crop-module-documentation/adding-new-cultivars-to-an-existing-crop-module/

I think there's a little way to go here, as what we have now - the technical implementation details and procedures to add new cultivars to apsim - doesn't address a common Q from new users: what is involved in getting apsim to model my experiment?

The people coming to this page often are mostly only familiar with concepts like harvest yield and are about to go down the rabbit hole of phenology calibration and canopy development; yet nowhere have we a document that describes basic concepts like thermal time, flowering, and leaf development, and which parameters affect these processes in what ways.

While each plant framework has different names for the same processes, having at least one used as an example of the above processes should give the reader an insight into what will be involved. We don't need a textbook, just a brief introduction ("that could include hyperlinks to basic theory material.

@yashvirchauhan - are you able to add to the instructions? that would be a great help.

yashvirchauhan commented 3 years ago

The APSIM - Online Seminar Series covers a range of topics quite relevant to the modelling community. However, a seminar on the optimisation procedure for cultivar parameters may not be out of place if that could be included. This could also familiarise the APSIM users (new as well as occasional users) with the thermal time concept, its modulation by photoperiod, and leaf area development. There are a number of experts who could cover this including Dean, Graeme Hammer and Peter Devoil. I think it will address a long standing need to parameterise new cultivars of different crops in the APSIM using an optimisation program.

I couldn't do this presentation. Not my area of expertise.

peter-devoil commented 3 years ago

ditto. Any suggestions, @uqghamme?
