The RSCM-soybean was then evaluated for its capability of simulating leaf area index (LAI), above-ground dry mass (AGDM), and yield, utilising the proximally sensed data integration into the modelling procedure. Field experiments were performed at two sites, one in 2017 and 2018 at Chonnam National University, Gwangju, and the other in 2017 at Jonnam Agricultural Research and Extension Services in Naju, Chonnam province, South Korea. The estimated parameters of radiation use efficiency, light extinction coefficient, and specific leaf area were 1.65 g MJ\u22121, 0.71, and 0.017 m2 g\u22121, respectively. Simulated LAI and AGDM values agreed with the measured values with significant model efficiencies in both calibration and validation, meaning that the proximal sensing data were effectively integrated into the crop model. The RSCM reproduced soybean yields in significant agreement with the measured yields in the model assessment. The study results demonstrate that the well-calibrated RSCM-soybean scheme can reproduce soybean growth and yield using simple input requirement and proximal sensing data. RSCM-soybean is easy to use and applicable to various soybean monitoring projects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12030410","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,28]],"date-time":"2020-01-28T09:37:09Z","timestamp":1580204229000},"page":"410","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Assessment of a Proximal Sensing-integrated Crop Model for Simulation of Soybean Growth and Yield"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0276-7497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ashifur Rahman","family":"Shawon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Plant Science, Chonnam National University, Gwangju 501-759, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7974-3808","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonghan","family":"Ko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Plant Science, Chonnam National University, Gwangju 501-759, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bokeun","family":"Ha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Plant Science, Chonnam National University, Gwangju 501-759, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seungtaek","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Plant Science, Chonnam National University, Gwangju 501-759, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dong Kwan","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jeonnam Agricultural Research and Extension Services, Naju 520-712, Chonnam Province, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Han-Yong","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Plant Science, Chonnam National University, Gwangju 501-759, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"385","DOI":"10.1016\/j.agrformet.2010.11.012","article-title":"Crop yield forecasting on the Canadian Prairies using MODIS NDVI data","volume":"151","author":"Mkhabela","year":"2011","journal-title":"Agric.
