Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) is a software application program that allows for crop simulation. DSSAT Perturb incorporates climate change factors into the DSSAT software system, allowing for enhanced planning. With DSSAT Perturb, users can explore future climates against your DSSAT crop files by selecting a weather file. Users can ask "what if" questions about how crops might respond to a different climate regime while controlling for other variables, such as precipitation, temperature and solar radiation, within DSSAT.
