@hol353 This can be merged and released. The documentation is in a usable state - I will keep making some improvements to it when I get a chance but it doesn't need to hold it up any longer.

Well done on getting the sorghum model ready for release. I don't want to hold it up but Neil and I have a couple of questions about the sorghum model:

• Is MicroClimate's calculated PotentialEP value used in sorghum? From looking through the source code I can't find anywhere it is used.
• Given the narrow validation range (Gatton, Hermitage, Icrisat) can you add a plausibility test i.e. a range of locations of different climate types. Other crop models have this that you could probably easily copy.
• In your PPT to the RP (RP Meeting - 2 November 2021 - Review of Sorghum Model ReferencePanel#96) you show a plausibility 'Time of Sowing' test. Where is that?
• Sorghum is used as a dual purpose crop in this part of the world. Can you show a test where animals reduce the leaf area? Other models have tests that you could copy.

I don't think any of this would take long as there are existing examples that you can copy and modify.

The SorghumPlausibilityRuns files has 6 simulations in it including:

• Sowing Date which is the time of sowing example
• Intercropping which shows how to enable Microclimate in a shared cropping situation as presented and discussed during the review.
• CO2 experiment as requested during the review process
• A Forage example which is currently disabled - due to replacements not working with forage examples as discussed during the Canola review. It can be enabled when the model is released.
• RowConfiguration example to show skip row handling.

I will add a location example to that file as well.

Thanks @jbrider I didn't see the separate SorghumPlausibilityRuns .apsimx file. A lot of work has gone into it which is great! Well done. Add a location example to it and I'll move the files from UnderReview to the validation directory and merge this PR.

@hol353 This is right to merge.
