Description

Very simple mechanistic model for plants.

Usage

ecocrop(crop, tmin, tavg, prec, rainfed=TRUE, ...) 
getCrop(name)
data(ECOcrops)

Arguments

crop

An object of class 'ECOCROP', or the name of a crop as in getCrop

tmin

Vector of monthly minimum temperature (degrees C)

tavg

Vector of monthly average temperature (degrees C)

prec

Vector of monthly precipitation (mm)

rainfed

Logical. If FALSE, the crop is assumed to be irrigated

...

Additinal arguments

name

Name of a crop (character). If missing a data.frame with all crop names is returned

Value

Object of class ECOCROP

Examples

# NOT RUN {
ecocrop('potato', 5:16, 15:26, runif(12)*100)
getCrop('Acacia brachystachya Benth.')
crop <- getCrop('Hot pepper')
ecocrop(crop, 5:16, 15:26, rainfed=FALSE)

# with spatial data
tmin = tavg = prec = brick(nrow=1, ncol=1)
tmin <- setValues(tmin, t(matrix(5:16)))
tavg <- tmin + 5
prec <- setValues(prec, t(matrix(15:26)))
crop <- getCrop('Hot pepper')
ecocrop(crop, tmin, tavg, prec, rainfed = FALSE)
# }
