Abstract
The IBSNAT project was organized as a cooperative and collaborative global network of scientists with a wide-array of disciplinary skills and interests. Outputs of the network participants were integrated and synthesized into a single, principal product, DSSAT, a decision support system software that provided a linked, computerized programming framework for crop simulation models, databases, and application programs. Utilization of project products was accomplished through annual training courses established among network participants in the United States and training workshops organized by host-country institutions and organizations at international venues. Information dissemination was accomplished principally through the printed media with technical reports and newsletters.
