A brief history of crop modeling activities in the former USSR is presented, and the author's view on the problems and perspectives of further developments is delineated. The paper is an analytical review of a detailed report on the issue of advances and problems in crop modeling that was recently published by the author. Although both theoretical and applied crop models are subjects of this review, the main emphasis is placed on the explanatory and behavioral features of existing and future crop models.
