            Course content
        
        
            The discipline is devoted to the study of theoretical foundations and methods of mathematical modeling of radiation, thermal and water regimes in agrophytocenoses, as well as their impact on the processes of growth, development and yield formation of crops. The course consists of two content modules. The first content module is devoted to the theory of modeling (basic principles of mathematical modeling in agrometeorology, properties of modeling objects and approaches to modeling energy and mass transfer in soil and vegetation cover). The second content module is devoted to modeling the processes of plant growth and development and crop yield formation, namely, studying the content, structure and features of the application of physical and statistical models and dynamic simulation models of the plant production process, as well as an overview of modern approaches and prospects for modeling development. Installation and use of the R programming language.
