Start | Index | Overview • PREV | UP | The daily increment of vernalisation days is determined by daily average temperature iDAVTEMP
\[ \begin{eqnarray} VDI(iDAVTEMP) & = & \left\{ \begin{array}{l} 0 & \text{if} \quad iDAVTEMP \lt cTlowCritical\\ \frac{iDAVTEMP - cTlowCritical}{cTlow - cTlowCritical} & \text{if} \quad cTlowCritical \le iDAVTEMP \lt cTlow \\ 1 & \text{if} \quad cTlow \le iDAVTEMP \lt cThigh \\ \frac{cThighCritical - iDAVTEMP}{cThighCritical - cThigh} & \text{if} \quad cThigh \le iDAVTEMP \lt cThighCritical \\ 0 & \text{if} \quad cThighCritical \le iDAVTEMP\\ \end{array} \right. \end{eqnarray} \]And sVernalDays is incremented by VDI(iDAVTEMP).
VernalisationFactor (VF) is determined by the sVernalDays (VD)
\[ \begin{eqnarray} VF(VD) & = & \left\{ \begin{array}{l} 0 & \text{if} \quad VD \lt cVernalDaysMin\\ \frac{VD - cVernalDaysMin}{cVernalDaysMax - cVernalDaysMin} & \text{if} \quad cVernalDaysMin \le VD \lt cVernalDaysMax \\ 1 & \text{if} \quad cVernalDaysMax \le VD \\ \end{array} \right. \end{eqnarray} \]DayLength is calculated from current DOY and cLatitude
Photoresponse curve is interpolated from cPhotoresponseTable, which is a double array, holding the duration (in hours) in the even entries and the coresponding factors in the odd entries.
The PhotoresponseFactor is then chosen from the interpolated curve according to the Daylength.
After anthesis, no daylength effects are taken into account (PhotoresponseFactor = 1).
Before anthesis:
\[ \begin{eqnarray} RTSUM & = & iTSumBaseAnt \cdot Min(PhotoresponseFactor, VernalisationFactor) \end{eqnarray} \]After anthesis:
\[ \begin{eqnarray} RTSUM & = & iTSumBaseMat \cdot Min(PhotoresponseFactor, VernalisationFactor) \end{eqnarray} \]cApplyPhotoresponse and cApplyVernalisation control whether photoresponse, vernalisation or both are applied. If the control variables are false, the coresponding factor is always 1, meaning that the effect is not applied.
The state sVernalDays has to be reset on each sowing. Therefore the input iDoSow has to be provided.
