The latest software distribution of JavaStics and STICS 10.5.0 is downloadable

The latest software distribution version 10.5.0 of JavaStics (CeCILL-B license) and STICS (CeCILL-C license) is available. The JavaSTICS-10.5.0-STICS-10.5.0.zip archive, the STICS source files (STICS-sources-stics_v10.5.0.zip) and the book (STICS-SOIL-CROP-MODEL-10.5.0.html, describing formalisms) as well, are downloadable from here.

This distribution is compatible with the previous ones using STICS 10.x.y and thus uses the same files formats.

STICS has been improved on a few points

  • Important refactoring of the source code to facilitate maintenance and future evolution.
  • Correction of various bugs, including:
    • Calculation of irrigation calculation in intercropping
    • Calculation of the radiation transfer depending on the vegetation cover geometry
    • Addition of tests on some variables and error messages associated
    • Various minor corrections
  • Evolution concerning the reduction factor on plant development calculation to correct a drift in maturity for short days conditions

JavaSTICS has evolved too

  • Refactoring for improved source code maintenance.
  • Correction of minor bugs.
