Improving predictions of leaf appearance in field grown potato Melhora na predição do aparecimento de folhas em batata cultivada a campo

The calculation of leaf appearance rate (LAR) and number of accumulated or emerged leaves (NL) on the main stem are part of many crop simulation models. The purpose of this study was to adapt and evaluate a model (WE model) for simulating the main stem LAR and NL in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Th...
