Germinating
The Germinating is a phenological phase in Canola used to represent the development period from Sowing to Germination. It determines whether the seed has germinated based on soil temperature and soil water.
Overview
The GerminatingPhase Model is used to simulate the germination of canola seeds. This phase begins when Plant Sowing occurs and ends when plant is germinated with conditions of soil temperature and soil water. See GerminatingPhase for more details.
- The
Minimum Soil Temperatureis configured as zero by default, which means that the germination will not occur if the soil temperature is below zero, - The
Soil Water Contentshould be more thanLower Limitfor germination to occur.
