Abstract:

The model is largely based on the model JALINTUL.CSM (C.J.T. Spitters, 1990). It calculates the tuber and inulin dry matter during the growing season under non-limiting conditions. This model differs from JALINTUL in the calculation of tuber dry matter as a function of the number of tubers, based on field trials in 1988 (Meijer and Mathijssen, 1991). The model has been used to compare inulin production of Jerusalem artichoke and chicory (Meijer and Mathijssen, 1993).
