POTATOS
Program type
Crop growth simulation model
Available since
Description
POTATOS is a simple crop growth model of the LINTUL-type. POTATOS has been used for calculating the impacts of climatic change on potato production over Europe. The main simulated processes are: photosynthesis, phenological development, assimilate allocation to crop organs, soil evaporation, crop transpiration, soil water balance.
