Abstract/Contents:"A model of the grass crop was constructed, in which the simulated values of crop morphology and physiology adapt automatically to changes in the environment. The model predicts photosynthesis, partitioning of assimilates and the growth of the crop in terms of leaves, stems and roots from environmental data and the initial weights of the crop components following defoilation. The model is used to investigate the separate effects of light. temperature, canopy structure and maintenance respiration on the growth and development of the crop. It demonstrates how the crop attempts to optimize above-ground growth, and the complexity of the interaction between the physiological and environmental factors controlling growth."
