Phenology

Phenology is the component responsible for simulating developmental stages of a plant—from emergence to flowering, grain filling, and maturity.

Phenology is the main model to simulate the developmental progression of a plant through a series of defined growth stages based on progression to completion.

Phases are the individual growth stages that define the plant’s lifecycle, such as emergence, flowering, and maturity. Each phase has specific characteristics and requirements for progression.

CAMP is the Cereal Anthesis Molecular Phenology (CAMP) model which is based on the Kirby Framework, and assumes the timing of anthesis is a result of the timing of flag leaf and an additional thermal time passage from there to heading then anthesis.
