1 ZadokPMFWheat

This model calculates a Zadok growth stage value based upon the current phenological growth stage within the model. The model uses information regarding germination, emergence, leaf appearance and tiller appearance for early growth stages (Zadok stages 0 to 30). The model then uses simulated phenological growth stages for Zadok stages 30 to 100.

1.1 List of growth phases

Growth Phase Descriptipon
Germinating ZadokStage = 5 x FractionThroughPhase
Emerging ZadokStage = 5 + 5 x FractionThroughPhase
Vegetative ZadokStage = 10 + Structure.LeafTipsAppeared
Reproductive ZadokStage is interpolated from values of stage number using the following table
