  abstract = {{C}rop models are essential in undertaking large scale estimation of crop production of diverse crop species, especially in assessing food availability and climate change impacts. {I}n this study, an existing model ({SSM}, {S}imple {S}imulation {M}odels) was adapted to simulate a large number of plant species including orchard species and perennial forages. {S}implification of some methods employed in the original model was necessary to deal with limited data availability for some of the plant species to be simulated. {T}he model requires limited, readily available input information. {T}he simulations account for plant phenology, leaf area development and senescence, dry matter accumulation, yield formation, and soil water balance in a daily time step. {P}arameterization of the model for new crops/cultivars is easy and straight-forward. {T}he resultant model ({SSM}-i{C}rop2) was parameterized and tested for more than 30 crop species of {I}ran using numerous field experiments. {T}ests showed the model was robust in the predictions of crop yield and water use. {R}oot mean square of error as percentage of observed mean for yield was 18% for grain field crops, 14% for non-grain crops 14% for vegetables and 28% for fruit trees.},
