Implementation of WOFOST

Implementation of WOFOST

We provide several implementations of WOFOST in different programming languages (FORTRAN, python, java). Moreover, we provide the parameter sets required to run WOFOST for difference crops and a set of jupyter notebooks that demonstrate capabilities of PCSE/ WOFOST.

Currently, four implementations of WOFOST are available from Wageningen University & Research:

  1. The original implementation of WOFOST written in FORTRAN77. This implementation is still available, but is not actively maintained anymore.
  2. WOFOST implemented in the Python Crop Simulation Environment (PCSE);
  3. WOFOST implemented in the Wageningen Integrated Systems Simulator (WISS), a Java framework targeting the agro-ecological modelling domain;
  4. The Soil-Water-Atmosphere-Plant modelling system (SWAP).

All these implementations inherit their biophysical core from WOFOST 6.0, but differ in their abilities to deal with I/O (file, database), their user interface or general flexibility.
