Unified Access to the APSIMWISE Ecosystem

Provides a unified interface to R packages supporting the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM), crop modelling, weather analysis, and agricultural decision support. It simplifies installation and loading of related packages and provides consistent user-facing functions across multiple crop types.

apsimwise

apsimwise is a collection of interoperable R packages for crop modelling, weather analysis, and agricultural decision support.

The goal of apsimwise is to provide a consistent and user-friendly interface to APSIM-related workflows, allowing researchers, students, breeders, agronomists, and consultants to work with multiple crops using a common set of tools.

Installation

From GitHub for the latest development version:

remotes::install_github("byzheng/apsimwise")

Load apsimwise

library(apsimwise)

Installed Packages

This package installs and loads the core apsimwise ecosystem, including:

tidyweather for weather data analysis.
rapsimng for manipulating APSIM Next Generation.
Packages for specific crops, including:
- rapsimng.wheat for Wheat
- rapsimng.canola for Canola
- rapsimng.chickpea for Chickpea
- rapsimng.fababean for Faba Bean
- rapsimng.lentil for Lentil
- rapsimng.lupin for Lupin
- additional crop packages as they become available

Get Started

apsimwise re-exports commonly used functions from the ecosystem so that most users only need to load a single package.

library(apsimwise)

# Read weather data
met <- read_weather("weather.met")

# Calculate day length
day_length(
  date = met$date,
  latitude = -27
)

# Calculate thermal time using crop-specific defaults
thermal_time(
  mint = met$mint,
  maxt = met$maxt,
  date = met$date,
  latitude = -27,
  crop = "lupin"
)

# View crop-specific parameters
crop("lupin")$get()
