This is our development version of DNDCv.CAN. The model is under ongoing development. Please report issues.

DNDCv.CAN

Welcome to DNDCv.CAN. This is a branch of the original U.S. version of DNDC (https://www.dndc.sr.unh.edu/) that has since been developed into DNDC10 under Regrow (https://www.regrow.ag/)

DNDCv.CAN was originally developed of the DNDC95 codebase dated August 2015 and has since developed into it's own version. This development is being managed by Brian Grant and Ward Smith from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

Please note that the source code for DNDCv.CAN is shared only with direct colloborators on research projects. If you require DNDC source code for the development of tools specific to your own requirements please contact Bill Salas at Regrow.

A user guide for both the original DNDC version as well as the new additions to DNDCv.CAN are available here.

A separate windows-based command line version of DNDCv.CAN is now also available as part of the source code package that will run without the graphics user interface.
