Estimativa do rendimento potencial de azevém anual (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) através de modelos matemáticos

Abstract

Doorenbos and Kassam (1994) provided better adjusted to the field conditions, whereas the Sinclair (1993) method provided estimates of the grass growth potential, which can be obtained under extremely favorable environmental conditions and the utilization of better pasture management practices. The method of Loomis and Williams (1963) estimated a very highest productivity, and showed lower correlation with the real conditions for simulate rye grass growth potential. The acurate of the models in predict the potential performance was directly proportional to incorporates sensibility parameters that consider the prominent of abiotics and physiological phenomena involved in the biomass accumulation.
