Abstract:

The model calculates root dry matter of chicory (Cichorium intybus) during the growing season under non-limiting conditions. Root dry matter is described as an expolinear function of the accumulative intercepted radiation. The parameters used, are based on a field trial in 1987 with the cultivar Pevele under non-limiting conditions (Meijer and Mathijssen, 1992). The model has been used to compare inulin production of Jerusalem artichoke and chicory (Meijer and Mathijssen, 1993).
