Background
In recent days, there is a great necessity for improving resource use efficiency in agriculture to meet the growing demands of the rising population in the face of declining resources and modelling of soil physical process has a great potential to improve resource use efficiency in agriculture. Modelling of soil water, nutrient, and understanding the role of soil organic carbon and use of different models like HYDRUS are the need of the hour. Understanding the relevance of the modelling of the soil physical process for resource use efficiency, Indian Society of Agrophysics in association with Division of Agricultural Physics, ICAR- Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi is organizing one day webinar over virtual platform on recent developments in simulation modelling and its applications in agriculture. Registration fee for the Webinar is Rs. 500/-.
