GrainFilling

The GrainFilling phase in Wheat represents the developmental period from MaximumGrainLength to EndGrainFill. It is influenced by thermal time only.

Overview

The GenericPhase model simulates the time between the MaximumGrainLength and EndGrainFill stages.

  • This phase starts at MaximumGrainLength and ends at EndGrainFill, when the grain is considered to be fully ripe.
  • The model uses daily Thermal Time, retrieved from the [Phenology].ThermalTime function.
  • The Target thermal time is fixed as constant for this phase, with default value of 545.0 °Cd.:
