Abstract

Correction: Accumulation of Biomass and Mineral Elements with Calendar Time by Corn: Application of the Expanded Growth Model

Highlights

  • In a recent publication the authors discussed a model of yield response of corn to plant population and absorption of solar energy within the plant canopy [1]

  • Accumulation of the growth quantifier (Q) with calendar time follows from Eq (7)

  • Coupling of biomass yield with growth quantifier follows from Eq (8)

Summary

Introduction

In a recent publication the authors discussed a model of yield response of corn to plant population and absorption of solar energy within the plant canopy [1]. Data from three field studies formed the empirical foundation for the mathematical model. In a textbook the authors have discussed various aspects of crop growth and yield [2], including a mathematical model of crop growth with calendar time. The expanded growth model incorporates the three basic processes of an energy driving function, partitioning of biomass between light-gathering and structural components of the plants, and an aging function. This model is used in the present analysis
