Two decades of research with the GreenLab model in agronomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With up to 200 published contributions, the GreenLab mathematical model of plant growth, developed since 2000 under Sino-French co-operation for agronomic applications, is descended from the structural models developed in the AMAP unit that characterize the development of plants and encompass them in a conceptual mathematical framework. The model also incorporates widely recognized crop model concepts (thermal time, light use efficiency and light interception), adapting them to the level of the individual plant.

Scope

Such long-term research work calls for an overview at some point. That is the objective of this review paper, which retraces the main history of the model's development and its current status, highlighting three aspects. (1) What are the key features
