摘要
Row spacing effects on light interception and extinction coefficient have been inconsistent for maize (Zea mays L.) when calculated with field measurements. To avoid inconsistencies due to variable light conditions and variable leaf canopies, we used a model to describe three-dimensional (3D) shoot structures combined with a model of 3D light transfer. The MODICA model mimics 3D shoot structures of maize plants from digitizations in the field and makes it possible to simulate associated hypothetical canopies by re-arranging plants into different row spacings. All row spacings examined with the model had 10 plants m(-2). By using the light model RTRI, simulations showed the relative importance of development stage and time integration on fraction of light transmitted and on the extinction coefficient. Narrow row spacings consistently had less transmitted light and greater values of extinction coefficient. This modelling tool shows promise to effectively evaluate row spacing to optimize light interception. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
