DESCRIPTION:
The model is loosely based on ADEL wheat, a wheat model which has been used in many papers. It simulates development of wheat structure from plant emergence until maturity. Wheat tillering (branching) can be simulated based on data, PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) interception, or red / far-red. However in the current implementation there are no plant physiological mechanisms governing tillering, or development in general.
