New version of Hybrid-Maize simulation software released

The 2006 release of Hybrid-Maize is now available. Hybrid-Maize is a user friendly computer program that simulates the growth and yield of a corn crop grown under non-limiting or water-limited (i.e. irrigated or rainfed) conditions based on daily weather data.

This software allows producers, crop consultants, educators, or researchers to explore the impact of weather and management changes on crop performance or even make in-season management decisions. Hybrid-Maize uses historical or real-time weather data that is available to many Nebraska producers through the online subscription services of the High Plains Regional Climate Center (hprcc.unl.edu).

Key improvements in the 2006 version of Hybrid-Maize include:

Previous users of Hybrid-Maize can download a free upgrade package. For further information visit the Hybrid-Maize Model Web site or contact Haishun Yang at hyang2@unl.edu.
