Modelling kiwifruit budbreak
Bud position has a pronounced effect on budbreak, a factor not considered by standard chilling-based dormancy models. Austin et al. (pp. 695-706) present an alternative 'loss of potential' model, which describes spring budbreak in relation to time of budbreak, winter temperature and position-dependent bud-to-bud interactions.
