Details

Define of growth stages

• S0: From start of year to emergence

• S1: From emergence to flowering time - 300Cd

• S2: From flowering time - 300Cd to flowering time + 100Cd

• S3: From flowering time + 100 Cd to flowering time + 600Cd

• S4: From flowering + 600Cd to maturity

Climate variables

• stage: defination of stages

• n: Number of days in each stage

• avgt: average temperature (C)

• sum.tt: total thermal time (Cd) with base temperature 0C

• avg.mint: average minimum temperature

• avg.maxt: average maximum temperature

• sum.rain: total rainfall

• avg.evap: average evapration

• avg.radn average radiation

• hot.days: number of hot days (daily maximum temperature is more than 30C)

• very.hot.days: number of very hot days (daily maximum temperature is more than 35C)

• frost.days: number of frost days (daily minimum temperature is less than 0C)

• hot.sum: total thermal time above 30C of hot days (daily maximum temperature is more than 30C)

• very.hot.sum: total thermal time above 35C of very hot days (daily maximum temperature is more than 35C)

• frost.sum: total thermal time below 0C of frost days (daily minimum temperature is less than 0C)

• vpd: vapour-pressure deficit

• te: transpiration efficiency

• bio.radn: bio.radn
