COMPUTER MODEL OF FRUIT TREES FLOWERING |
| Authors: | M. SEVERINI, G. TONNA, F. CARDILLO |
| Abstract:
A linear box-chain model has been set up, which furnishes the time evolution of fruit trees flowers through 9 phenophases; the physiological and environmental effects are included into two series of 9 parameters giving for each phenophase the rate of passage (Ri) and the rate of fall (Fi). After experimental field results have been presented, the analitical solution to the basic differential equation is described. Finally, results concerning simulations and comparison with experimental data are given. | |
