Abstract

In 2018, the Forecasting and Assessment of Cropping sysTemS (FACTS) project continued with the objective of forecasting in-season soil water-nitrogen dynamics, in-season plant growth, and end-of-season grain yields. This concept was initiated to help farmers and agronomists make in-season management decisions, plus review the past growing season to see what management practices could have been changed to improve grain yields and net profits, but also reduce nitrogen loss.
