RESEARCH ON THE PHOTO-TEMPERATURE MODEL FOR THE DEVELOPMENTAL RATE OF RICE

Rice is one kind of crops with short length of light, its developmental rate in the photophase depends on the light-length and temperature. Since uncultivated rice was discovered in China, about 40,000 species of rice, including photo-sensitive and temperature-sensitive types, have been growing. A number of researches have been carried out by agrometeorologists in this field. The purpose of this paper is to develop a photo-temperature model based on a considerable amount of experimental data.
