Coefficient | Definition | Setting |
TBASE | Base temperature below which no development occurs ˚C | 8.0 |
TOPT | Temperature at which maximum development rate occurs during vegetative stages ˚C | 34.0 |
ROPT | Temperature at which maximum development rate occurs for reproductive stages ˚C | 34.0 |
RUE | Radiation use efficiency, g plant dry matter MJ PAR−1 | 4.0 |
KCAN | Canopy light extinction coefficient for daily PAR | 0.85 |
P1 | Thermal time from seedling emergence to the end of the juvenile phase (expressed in degree days above a base temperature of 8˚C) during which the plant is not responsive to changes in photoperiod. | 430 |

G2 | Scaler for partitioning of assimilates to the panicle (head). | 6.5 |
PHINT | Phylochron interval; the interval in thermal time (degree days) between successive leaf tip appearances. | 49.00 |
