Improving the prediction of leaf appearance rate in winter wheat
Accurate predictions of leaf appearance rate are important in crop simulation modelling. Streck et al. (pp. 181-190) present an improved leaf appearance model for winter wheat. The model now takes into account the faster rate of appearance for the first two leaves due to seed reserves and a slower rate for later-appearing leaves due to the increasing distance between the meristem and the whorl.
