Abstract

The behaviour of an improved version of the crop growth simulation program SUCROS was compared with the original version. The improved model had a more mechanistic way of modelling canopy photosynthesis and gave higher readings at low LAI on clear days and in autumn and winter when days were short and sun elevations were low. At low assimilation rates the older version underestimated crop production of sugarbeet by 5-25%. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
