Abstract:
The model simulates 2 spring barley varieties with densities NPL, competing for light
in a potential production environment. The model is based on the
SUCROS*
spring wheat model. It
has been extended for light interception and distribution within the heterogeneous crop. The model
may be applied in plant breeding and crop science.
