Abstract: Abstract The crop simulation model considered in this study is the one developed by Kraalingen [53]. This approach uses the rate-state concept of simulation modeling [80]. Calculations and statements are divided into four categories: initialization, rate calculations, integration calculations, and the output of results. These calculations are executed sequentially. The simulation starts at the beginning of a time step with a certain value for its state variables; therefore, the initialization step must be performed first. Rate and integration calculations are repeated a certain number of time steps until a termination condition is satisfied. For crop growth, a complete simulation run simulates growth from emergence to harvest. Final calculations and statements are made at the end of a simulation run (e.g., by writing final crop yields to an output file).
