EarlyPodDevelopment
The EarlyPodDevelopment phase in Canola represents the developmental period from StartPodDevelopment to StartGrainFilling. It is influenced by thermal time only.
Overview
The GenericPhase model simulates the time between the StartPodDevelopment and StartGrainFilling stages.
- This phase starts at StartPodDevelopment and ends at StartGrainFilling, when the grain is considered to be fully ripe.
- The model uses daily Thermal Time, retrieved from the
[Phenology].ThermalTimefunction. - The Target thermal time is fixed as constant for this phase, with default value of 140 °Cd (Robertson et al. 2002).
