Using environnemental, management and simulation options inputs, mosicas daily simulates plant growth, biomasses accumulation and partitions, soil water dynamic, and bioclimatic indexes. Mosicas is executed from the simulation platform SimMosicas (SimMosicas.xlsm). Mosicas can be also run from any application (R,…) as soon as data and simulation options inputs are well informed. Mosicas includes several growth models whose differences are the used water balance. Simulation options input Before simulating, mosicas need to know simulation options input which are in the files sim.txt (simulation options) and parcal.txt (parameters options) Data input (Mosicas DataBase or Mosicas DB) Then, Mosicas simulates treatments (= crop or annual cycles) whose main environmental, plant and management caracterictics are in the file trait.txt. This important file is linked with environmental, management and plant text files. All those text files make up the database Mosicas (Mosicas DB) and are in tabular form. Mosicas Organisation Diagram : 1/ The simulation platform SimMosicas, according to user informations, write text files with simulation and parameters option inputs (1a), then runs Mosicas (1b). 2/ Mosicas reads those simulation options (2a) then reads data inputs from Mosicas DB (2b). 3/ Mosicas simulates all the treatments specified in simulation options. 4/ Mosicas writes simulation results in 2 output text files.

These files are written by SimMosicas.xlsm according to user informations filled in the sheet « Simulation » of the platform SimMosicas.xlsm General options include in sim.txt : locations of input and output files , the name of the output file, the name of the model to be used, the output frequencies, the simulation type (normal, sensitivity or calibration), the forcing type, the irrigation type and which treatments must be simulated. Specific parameters options are written in parcal.txt when user choose a sensitivity or calibration as type of simulation. These options include the state variable of calibration if calibration is chosen and the description of all parameters (name, central value, iteration and number of iterations) The detailed description of the simulations options and parameters options is located in the chapter "52 in the simulation options zone". 3/ DATA INPUTS (Mosicas DB) 3-1/ List of data inputs text files These files can be filled directly by the user using a text editor, a spreadsheet or a Database interface. All the text files are tables using tabulations as separators and dot (".") as decimal. Aphanumeric values must not include spaces, "," or "/". Columns order and the name of the sheet "Simulation" must not be changed and columns must not be added or deleted. Modification of these files must respect the relations between files and columns specifications. See "3-2/ Relations between data input text files of the mosicas DB" and Appendix A. All the files are linked to the main data input file : trait.txt. The system is like a relational DataBase Detailed description of each file is in Appendix A. * Main data input file - trait.txt. General description of each treatment (crop or annual cycle) whose code is ʺtreatcodeʺ * Management data input files linked to trait.txt - plante.txt.

The output file name ("outcode") and location is given by the user in the sheet " Simulation " of SimMosicas.xlsm. Two output files are written by mosicas according to the type od simulation: - a text file as simulation report “outcode”.txt including simulation options and running problems , If the type of simulation is normal or sensitivity: - a text file with simulation results “outcode”.csv like a table (separator : ";", decimal: ".") If the type of simulation is calibration - a textfile calibres.csv giving errors and optimum values for each parameter to calibrate. The description of output files is in Appendix B. 5/ SIMULATION PLATFORM The whole Simulation Platform is included in Sheet "Simulation" of the file SimMosicas.xlsm. This Simulation Platform, after filling simulation options, writes option simulations files (sim.txt and parcal.txt) and then run mosicas. Simulation procedure. In Sheet "Simulation": Don't insert and delete rows and columns in this sheet. Don’t change the name of the sheet "Simulation" 1/ Fill treatments zone, with treatments names ,column H from row 11 downwards 2/ Fill options zone (yellow cells) 3/ Execute the simulation (blue button) Wait for message box "End of Simulation" 5-1 Treatment zone List of the treatments which will be simulated. The number of treatments is not limited. Treatment list must be filled in column H (or 8) from row 11 downwards. Treatments List must not have empty cells. In Sheet "DosTrait1" can be pasted all treatments existing in trait.txt (not compulsory but convenient). This can help to classify treatments. It is possible to fill treatments in columns I, J, K, … in the yellow cell corresponding to "Nomber of treatment In Lists". In that case, the number of columns (Lists) must be specified in cell A7. 5-2 Simulation options zone Fill only yellow cells. Don't insert and delete rows and columns in this sheet Number of Treatment Lists Input data subfolder Output subfolder Type of treatments Name of the output file Crop rotation Model name Number of treatments lists = Number of columns taken into account, in treatment Zone (=1 Don't modify for the moment) Sub-folder where are located all the input data files (Mosicas DataBase). This sub-folder is inside the folder where are mosicas.exe and SimMosicas.xlsm. Sub-folder where are located all the output data files (except calibres.csv). This sub-folder is inside the folder where are mosicas.exe and SimMosicas.xlsm. Write "obs" if all the treatments to simulate are in "trait.txt" or write write "str" if all the treatments to simulate are in "trstr.txt". For convenience, all the treatments including observations (experiments, growers, surveys) are in "trait.txt' and all the virtual treatments referring to strategies to test or compare are in "trstr.txt". trait.txt and trstr.txt have the same structure (columns names and order). Name of the file (without extension) where will be saved all the outputs (results) of treatments simulations. (not more than 8 letters and figures, without "," "/" and spaces). "name".csv is a table with all the simulation outputs, which can be very easily processed with R or Excel. "name.txt" is a file where are saved simulation options and simulation stories. Rotation (0: treatment are independant, 1: there are crop rotations) . Write 0 for the moment. Name of the crop simulation model. Examples: "MOSICASCERES", "MOSICASPCERESb", "MOSICASFAO56", "MOSICASFAO56b". Each model, composed of process modules, is located in mosicas code. Output frequency (in days) Output at observation dates Water stress effect Nitrogen stress effect Type of simulation Type of calibration Number of parameters Calibration variable Parameters Table Parameter Name central value iteration value Number of iterations 1: every day, n: every n days, 0: only at the end of the growing cycle, that's to say the ending date ("enddate") specified for each treatment in "trait.txt" 1: Yes, 0: No. Output will occur at all the observation dates indicated in "obsplant.txt", if the figure indicated in column "calage" of obsplant.txt is 1. 1: Yes, 0: No. If 1, the water balance runs and water stress indexes are calculated, actual water stresses are effective. If 0, the water balance runs but water stress indexes are set to 1, that's to say no water stress occurs. 1: Yes, 0: No.. This doesn't run for the moment. Write 1. 0: normal, no plant parameter variation for each treatment. 1:sensitivity, 1 to 12 plant parameters can vary with interaction (combinations). 2 Calibration, 1 to 12 plant parameters can vary using a calibration variable on which will be compared and minimized square differences between observations and simulated outputs using Simulated Annealing Method. Calibration method: 1: simulated annealing, 2 simplex, 3 gradient. Write 1 as only simulated annealing is implemented. Number of plant parameters used for sensitivity or calibration. (1 to 12). This option is taken into account only if the type of simulation is 1 (sensitivity) or 2 (calibration). Plant or soil state variable of the model on which will be compared and minimized square differences between observations and simulated outputs using Simulated Annealing Method. Calibration variables are: lai (green leaf area index), ei (interception efficiency), nbtigv (number of alive stalks), nbltot (number of total blades), nblv (number of alive blades), ltvdsurf (area of tvd blade), dmaer (aboveground dry mass), humcan (water content of above ground biomass), dmsucre (sucrose dry mass), rdcan (millable stalk fresh mass or yield, htvd (stalk height up to tvd), dmtig (millable stalk dry mass), stock (soil available water stock). This table is taken into account if "type of simulation" is 1 (sensitivity) or 2 (calibration) and if "Number of parameters" ( = n) is specified. The n parameters must be informed and only the first n parameters will be taken into account. Name of the plant parameter to calibrate or on which sensitivity is studied Central value of the parameter for sensitivity and initial value for calibration iteration in % of the central value. Sensitivity : Number of iterations on either side of the central value. For calibration write 1. Sensitivity example: central value=100, iteration value = 20 (%), Number of iterations = 2 will give values of 60, 80, 100, 120, 140. If n parameters, all the intercations (combinations) will be used. Calibration example: central value=100, iterations = 90 (%), Number of iterations = 1. Calibration will be run and best (optimized) parameter value will be searched for parameter values between 10 and 190. These options are used for forcing. For each specified state variable, simulated value is Forcing : Simulations=Ob replaced with observed value at each observation date. servations Forcing 0: no forcing. 1: forcing. Forcing can be undertaken at first observation date or at all observation dates. Variable Name of the state variable that will be forced by observations. Type of irrigation (strategies) 0 1 2 3 4 5 These options can be used to compare, analyse potentialities or irrigation strategies. The selected type of irrigation will be applied to all treatments. If simulations are experiments with irrigations filled in irrig.txt, write 1 as type of irrigation. No irrigation (Only rainfed without actual irrigations taken into account). Give rainfed Potential. Actual irrigation indicated in file trait.txt and whose amount and dates are in file irrig.txt. Give potential with actual irrigation. p1: irrigation frequency in days p2: maximum level of filling (% of available water capacity AWC). Amount is the difference between p2 and the actual available water stock p3: number of days of drying-off before harvest p1: starting level (% of AWC) p2: maximum level (% of AWC) Irrigation starts if the actual available water stock (% of AWC) is less than p1. Irrigation amount is p2 - actual available water stock. p3: number of days od drying-off before harvest p1: irrigation frequency in days p2: water amount (in mm) whatever the actual available water stock. p3: number of days of drying-off before harvest. p1: irrigation frequency in days p2: water amount (in mm) p3: starting level (% AWC) Irrigation starts if the actual available water stock (% of AWC) is lower than p3 p4: number of days of drying-off before harvest. 5-3 Execute the Simulation Press the blue Button. Then wait for message box "End of Simulation" This creates the simulation options file sim.txt then run mosicas.exe located in the same folder as SimMosicas.xlsm. This execute the simulation when all the simulation options and the treatments list are well informed. Appendix A Description of the Input Data Files (Mosicas DataBase) Relations between files.
