To model various environmental factors and genotype phenotype associations affecting the maize hybrid breeding, to simulate maize hybrids under such factors and to select superior maize hybrids that can be tested on-field.

The central problem with the current field based research methodologies for maize breeding is that it is time and resource consuming. The results of a single maize breed are obtained after continuous field work of 4-5 months. The process of maize breed analysis can be modeled and simulated in quick time with the help of computer based simulations. Current crop simulators are not open source, not user friendly, and do not incorporate all of the factors affecting the maize breed.
