Two files are initially read by the Simpotato model to determine how it will be run, the file RUN.DAT tells the model where to find certain input files and what the names will be for output files. If the RUN.DAT file is not found, default names will be used for files. The model configuration file, usually named CONFIG.CFG (another name may be set in the RUN.DAT file) is read next. See the sections in the User-Man.doc for a description of the variables in the CONFIG.CFG file. Then the model input files are read.

File 1 contains weather data for a weather station. FILE2 contains data for all soil types. FILE9 contains cultivar-specific genetic coefficients for potato cultivars.Because weather data files can be used for any experiments, a slightly different naming convention for FILE1 is used which enables identification of the beginning of the weather. The first 4 characters of the file name identify the location of the weather station, the next 4 characters identify the starting month and day for the data. The file extension is W## for weather and the year, e.g. W96 for 1996.
Since FILE2 contains soil profile data for many soils, a standard name of SPROFILE.PT2 is used to identify soil profile data sets. Similarly, GENETICS.PT9 is FILE9 and contains cultivar-specific coefficients for potato cultivars. For each treatment of an experiment, the soil and cultivar are specified in the treatment management file (FILE8).
FILE4 through FILE8: These files contain input data for all treatments of an experiment or site. Typically a set of files for an experiment or site are named thus:
The first 2 characters identify an organization, company or farm (PR for Prosser Experiment Station where I work)
The next 2 characters identify a location where the field(s) is located (PL for Prior Land where our experimental fields are located)
The next 2 characters identify the year (96 for 1996)
The last 2 characters of the file name identify a specific experiment or group of simulations at the site (01 for the first group)
The file extension identifies the type of file, *.PT4, *.PT5, *.PT6, *.PT7, *.PT8
FILE1: daily weather data
Daily weather data must be available in FILE1 for all days of the growing season (minimum requirement), beginning with day of planting and ending at crop maturity. Ideally, the file should contain weather data for full years. Then, the simulation could start before planting so that soil processes would be simulated. Initial conditions for the soil should coincide with the first day of simulation. Full years of weather data supports multi-year simulations and allows users to select alternate planting dates or longer duration crop varieties for analyzing alternate scenarios. On the first line of this file, the institute and weather station site code identifiers are listed, followed by latitude and longitude. An example file:

Soil profile properties are used in the soil water, nitrogen, and root growth sections of the crop models. The first line of data in this file contains a soil number, the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) pedon number, and the Soil Taxonomy name. If the SCS pedon number is not available, users can use their own description in this field or leave it blank. The second line of data contains soil properties that do not vary with depth, such as surface albedo, SCS curve number, etc. Line 3 indicates the number of profile layers in the soil. Starting with line 4, one line of data is used for each layer in the profile. The number of layers in this file and the thickness of each layer must be consistent with the initial conditions in FILE5. Default initial conditions for the soil are in FILE2 and will be used if FILE5 is not available. Properties for several soils are input into this file by appending data from each available soil, each with its own sequence number and pedon number. This file may contain properties for several soils with the same soil classification. Model users can use this format and manually input their own values for a soil.DATA FORMATS

FILE5 contains initial conditions for soil profile water and nitrogen dynamics submodels. These initial conditions specify the values of water content, ammonium, nitrate, and pH in each vertical layer at the start of the first day of the simulation. Thus, the simulation must be started on the day for which the initial conditions are specified, even if the planting date is later. Soil profile initial conditions must be specified for a date before planting, or at the latest, on the date of planting which is input in FILE8. The thickness of each layer and the number of layers in this file must correspond exactly with those in FILE2. The first line of data in FILE5 consists of treatment number and an experiment code identifier. The next line indicates the number of layers in the soil profile. Then, there will be one line of data for each soil layer. This file will have data for each treatment of an experiment at a site, with the treatment being identified on the top line of each consecutive set.DATA FORMATS

For each treatment in an experiment at a site, the Julian dates and depths of irrigation are contained in FILE6. The first line of data for each treatment in the file must contain the treatment number and the experiment code identifier. The second line indicates the number of irrigations. Then, one line of data is required for each irrigation event. Data for the second treatment and subsequent treatments are stacked below that of the first treatment, and data for all treatments are thus contained in this file.DATA FORMATS

The various effects are multiplied together to get a single measure of daily progress toward tuber initiation so values of 1 have no effect on tuber initiation, values less than 1 slow or reverse progress and values greater than 1 hasten progress toward tuber.initiation. A1,A2 Daily mean temperature effect on tuber initiation. Maximum effect of A1 at 15 C and zero effect (no progress) at 5 and 25 C. Set values to that A1 - 1.0 = A2 * 10. A3 Plant leaf area effect, larger values of A3 slow tuber initiation. Effect ranges from 1 (no effect) at zero leaf area to 20 at full cover with A3=2.0 A4 Light intensity (daily solar radiation/daylength) effect, ranges from 1 (no effect) at zero light to 1.3 for a clear day at the summer solstice (June 22) A5,A6 Daily temperature range effect, goes from 1 (no effect) when maximum=minimum daily temperature to A6 when the range is 25 C. Set so that A6 = A5 + 1. A7,A8, Photoperiod (civil twilight or dusk to dawn) effect, ranges from 1 (no effect) for 18 hour days to A8 for 12 hour days. Potato is a short day plant (actually responds to long nights) so it develops faster in short days than long days (with other factors the same). Set so that A8 = A7 + 1. A9,A10 Plant nitrogen effect, ranges from a maximum effect of A10 with low plant N content to a minimum of A9 with high plant N content. High levels of plant tend to slow progress towards tuber initiation, more so in indeterminant cultivars like Russet- burbank.

FILEB contains observed data to be plotted on screen with simulated results for each treatment simulated. Data for all treatments of an experiment are stored in one file. The first line is used as the header line to identify the treatment. On the second line, the first variable identifies the number of state variables for which there are matching field data, and the rest of the variables on this line are pointers which indicate the state variable number for each column of data. Brief character strings identifying the variables may follow the last variable number - these will not be read. The next line indicates the number of days of observed values. Starting with the fourth line, there is one line of data for each observation date. Each of these lines of data must begin with the day of the year for the observation(s).DATA FORMATS

The following numbers are codes for the observed values in the order in which they appear in each line of observed data. The codes are shown in file User-Man.doc and described in the following table. FILEB contains the field measured data; if a variable has not been measured or is missing, a "." or a "0", is entered in FILEB. The actual data are read as free format, real values, represented by an asterisk (*) in FORTRAN format statements.Growth Stage 1

Several output files can be produced by the model. The file names (and directory paths) are listed in the file run.dat in the directories where the model will be run. The Report_Daily value in the CONFIG.CFG file is used to control which output files are created. It is also rather easy for a programmer to add additional output files either to the Rept or the Opharv subroutines for special purposes.OUTPUT FILES
