Homer Nowlin Chair

This is an archival version of the Nowlin Chair web page from when Dr. Joe Ritchie was the Nowlin Chair professor (1984-2000). Return to the the main Nowlin Chair web site.

The Homer Nowlin Chair is an endowed chair in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State University. Our focus is on water quality issues in Michigan. To increase our understanding in these issues we have used and developed several crop and soil simulation models. Primarily we have used and modified the CERES family of cereal models and we are now developing the SALUS (System Approach to Land Use Sustainability) model.

DSSAT variables

Below are three lists of variables for the CERES and CropGro programs. They were compiled by a number of users of these models. These lists are certainly not complete and probably incorrect in some cases. They are provided as a guide and not as authoritative listings.
