Abstract:
A model for the main processes in potato growth is developed and used for the simulation of crop production under different meteorological conditions. The main control factors considered in the model are irrigation, fertilization and timing of harvest. The model is constructed on the level of the plant community. The time interval for the simulation of general dynamic processes is one day. To describe some important physiological processes during a day, the simulation is performed by subroutines with hourly time steps. © 1985.
