Abstract: | A modelof thegrasscrop isconstructed, inahichthe simulated valuesof crop morphology and physiology adapt automatically to changesin the environment. The model predicts photosynthesis, partitioningof assimilates and the growth or the cropin terms of leaves,stems and rmts from environmental data and the initial weightsof the crop components following defoliation. The model is usedto investigate the separate effects of light, temperature, canopystructure and maintenance respiration on the growth and denlopmcnt of the crop. It demonstrates how the crop attempts to optimizeaboveground growth, and the complexity of the interaction betweenthe physiological and environmental factors controlling growth.
