predicting crop development timing from thermal conditions




The research problem concerns predicting the progression of crop physiological development as influenced by temperature over time. Crop growth stages such as emergence, flowering, and maturity depend strongly on accumulated thermal energy rather than calendar time. The challenge is to represent this dependency in a general, crop-independent yet parameterizable way that can be applied across environments and management scenarios. The modeled solution translates daily temperature data into a normalized development index that governs downstream growth processes. This enables consistent coupling of phenology with biomass production, stress responses, and yield formation.
