Simulation of crop growth, time to maturity and yield by an improved sigmoidal model

Abstract Models that accurately estimate maximum crop biomass to obtain a reliable forecast of yield are useful in crop improvement programs and aiding establishment of government policies, including those addressing issues of food security. Here, we present a new sigmoidal growth model (NSG) and co...
