ROSE GROW: A MODEL TO DESCRIBE GREENHOUSE ROSE GROWTH

This model is designed to help in the early testing of different climate control regimes and morphological plant treatments in an attempt to predetermine that the waves of flowering will appear at an economically propitious date.
The model describes the growth and development of the canopy in greenhouse roses by tracking the changes in the weight and morphology of each of the lateral branches that make up the canopy.
The model uses a source-sink approach to allocate carbohydrate for the growth of different organs.
The sink demand for carbohydrates is calculated using the template for the plants’ morphogenetic potential at each age.
