Description
The objective of this approach was to check the possibility to modify a dynamic model for simultaneous simulation of the above-ground dry matter growth (DM) and concentrations of crude protein CP) and metabolizable energy (ME) in stands of timothy (Phleum pratense L.) to a model for mixed leys with timothy and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.). DM growth is estimated in relation to intercepted radiation, air temperature, soil-water status and tissue-N concentration. CP is estimated in relation to plant uptake of N from soil mineralization, nitrogen fixation and applied fertilizer, and dilution of N during plant growth. ME is estimated in relation to plant development as influenced by genotype, temperature and day length.
