Evaluation of the Macros-Sahel Model for the Rainfed Production of Corn (Zea Mays L. Cv Suwan I)

There is an urgent need to cultivate grain corn on a large scale in Malaysia to meet the growing demand. Before attempting to do this a thorough evaluation of environmental effects on the growth and yield of the crop has to be undertaken. One way of doing this is by using simulation models. Ther...
