Knowledge about model uncertainty is essential for crop modelling and provides information crucial for a real understand-ing of models behavior and for parameterization purposes. This work addresses an exploratory sensitivity analysis on the parameters involved with biomass accumulation of three crop models decidedly differing in the way they interpret the con-cept of growth. The models used in the sensitivity analysis were CropSyst, WARM and WOFOST. We used the Morris screening method, supplied with software for sensitivity analysis SimLab, to determine, at a reasonable cost in terms of model evaluations, which parameters have a substantial influence on a static biomass output (rice aboveground biomass at physiological maturity).
