Growth Analysis and Modeling

A number of models have been constructed to better understand the development physiology of Jerusalem artichoke. These models quantify the amount of solar radiation intercepted, the efficiency with which light is converted into dry matter, and the distribution of dry matter around the plant over time. Assimilated dry matter is used for structural growth or as storage reserves in different plant parts.
