Impact of Crop Heat Units on Growth and Developmental Physiology of Future Crop Production: A ReviewBy Theivasigamani Parthasarathi, G. Velu, P. Jeyakumar
Abstract: Plant development depends on temperature and requires a specific amount of heat to develop from one point in their lifecycle to another, such as from seeding to the harvest stage. Temperature is a key factor for the timing of biological processes, and hence the growth and development of plants. Crop heat unit (CHU) or thermal time or growing degree days is a temperature response of development that differs between day …
