The concept of using mathematical models to investigate crop growth
and productivity has attracted much attention in recent years. A
major reason is that modelling can allow an expert in one area to
assess the impact of his ideas in the light of other advances in
our understanding of crop performance. Whether or not many of the
claims made for or the demands made of models can ever be
satisfied, this role as a focus for quantitative definition of crop
growth is an important one. One consequence is that the development
and appraisal of such models requires the efforts of scientists
from a wide range of disciplines. This NATO Advanced Research
workshop was designed to bring together such a range of scientists
to consider the wheat crop, and assess our understanding of the
crop and our ability to model its growth and yield. The ideas and
organization behind the workshop involved many people. The U. K.
interest in a computer model of wheat growth was instigated by Dr.
Joe Landsberg (then of Long Ashton Research Station, but now
Director of CSIRO Division of Forest Research), who in 1979 started
a modelling exercise as part of a collaborative study of the causes
of yield variation in winter wheat, involving four research
institutes supported by the Agricultural and Food Research Council.
