Estimate of the heat (forcing) requirement (subsequent to chilling) of cv.’ Schneiders’ cherry in Klein-Altendorf, calculated after Anderson et al. (1986). Requirements were derived by summation of forcing units over the relevant period delineated by partial least squares (PLS) regression
| Start date | End date | Duration | Forcing (growing degree hours) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day/month (Julian day) | Days | Mean ± SD | CV% | |
| 12/02 (43) | 18/04 (108) | 66 | 3,473 ± 1,236 | 35.6 |
