Abstract

The presentation provides a summary of the key results for testing and validating the CROPGRO Perennial Forage Model using data from 6 demoplots in the southern highlands of Tanzania. The model was able to simulate biomass production and soil organic carbon in Brachiaria Cayman with a good agreement with observations.
