Fruit Development, Ripening & HarvestWhat does a carbon-and-water fruit-growth model add beyond a mango harvest-date forecast?
A growth model can represent resource supply, fruit demand, water movement, and weather effects on changing fruit mass. That is a different objective from predicting when a maturity date will arrive. Ask which output is being predicted before using a model for crop planning. Check its fruit-size predictions against local measurements and retain its assumptions about canopy light and crop load alongside the results.
