About the Book

Most books covering the use of computer models in agricultural management systems target only one or two types of models. There are few texts available that cover the subject of systems modeling comprehensively and that deal with various approaches, applications, evaluations, and uses for technology transfer. Agricultural System Models in Field Res

About the Author :
Lajpat (Laj) R. Ahuja is a supervisory soil scientist and research leader of the USDA-ARS, Great Plains Systems Research Unit, Fort Collins, Colorado. He has made original and pioneering research contributions in several areas of agricultural systems: infiltration and water flow in soils, estimation of hydraulic properties, and scaling of their spatial variability; transport of agrochemicals to runoff and to groundwater through soil matrix and macropores; quantification of the effects of tillage and other management practices on above properties and processes; and modeling of the entire agricultural systems and application of system models in field research, technology transfer, and management decision support., As development team leader, Ahuja guided the development, validation, and publication of the ARS Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM), that is being widely used for evaluating effects of management on water quality and crop production. The Unit team has also developed a whole farm/ranch decision support system, GPFARM, for evaluating production, economics, and environmental impacts of alternative management systems., Ahuja has authored or co-authored more than 200 publications; he is also senior editor of the book on RZWQM. He has served as associate editor (1987 to 1992) and technical editor (1994 to 1996) of the Soil Science Society of America Journal. He is an invited guest editor of an upcoming special issue of Geoderma on “Quantifying Agricultural Management Effects on Soil Properties and Processes,” has served as advisor and consultant to several national and international organizations, and has organized several interagency/international workshops. Ahuja won the USDAARS, Southern Plains Area, Scientist of the Year Award in 1989. He was elected Fellow of the Soil Science Society of America in 1994 and the American Society of Agronomy in 1996., Liwang Ma is a soil scientist with USDA-ARS, Great Plains Systems Research Unit, Fort Collins, Colorado.
