Cotton2K Model version 4.0

A. Marani

The COTTON2K cotton simulation model is descended from GOSSYM-COMAX. Its main purpose was to make the model more useful for conditions of cotton production under irrigation in the arid regions of the Western USA. Since many changes have been made in the model, it has been given a new name: CALGOS (for CALifornia GOSsym). The present version, which is completely revised has been renamed COTTON2K.

Cotton2K Model Version 4.0

Cotton2K is a cotton simulation model specially adapted for irrigated cotton production in arid regions. It was written by:
