A simple model to predict phenology in malting barley based on cultivar thermo-photoperiodic response

In the Pampean region of Argentina, farming systems are based on intensive land use, wheat/soybean double cropping being a key component of these agricultural systems. However, during the last years farmers have been replacing wheat for barley due to its earlier maturity date, reducing yield penalization in soybean as a consequence of delays in its sowing date, and improving the economic profits of the double cropping system. To maximize the...
