Dynamic models can help us for solving this problem. In order to evaluation of soybean simulation by using of CROPGRO-Soybean model at four sowing date in field research of Azad university of Karaj branch a field experiment conducted in form of split plot in based on randomize complete block design with four replication in 2009s. Approach: At this experiment simulation of some traits such Leaf Area Index (LAI), Leaf Dry Weight (LDW), Stem Dry Weight (SDW) and Biomass (B) evaluated for cv. Williams using of CROPGRO-Soybean. According to results, model was successful in the traits simulation, because of high Wilmot coefficient produced (0.6), 20 days after planting to the end of the growth duration. Results: Model explained well stem dry weight, as correlation coefficient in each sowing date was significant (p}, journal = {American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
