Sowing Date Optimization/Evidence
Method evidence record

Sowing Date Optimization

Sowing Date Optimization is a decision support pipeline for determining optimal crop planting dates that align phenological development with favorable environmental windows, maximizing yield and reducing climate risk. Developed by crop modelers (Aggarwal, Semenov) in the 2000s, this method combines crop simulation, climate data, and risk analysis to identify safe, profitable sowing windows.
