Table G.1.
Crop development stages in AppDate adopted from FOCUS (2001)
| Stage according to FOCUS (2001) | BBCH stage in AppDate | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Planting date | BBCH 00 | Set to 10 days before emergence. If not applicable (e.g. some permanent crop), it was not used |
| Emergence date | BBCH 09 | Always given by FOCUS |
| 1 day after emergence | BBCH 10 | All crops |
| 15 days after emergence | BBCH 20 | Only winter crops (begin of hibernation)a |
| 9 days before the next macro stage (i.e. BBCH 30) | BBCH 21c | Only winter crops (end of hibernation)a |
| Spring pointb | BBCH 30 | Only winter crops (to consider hibernation)a |
| Maximum LAI | BBCH 40 | Biennial plants that are harvested in the first year (e.g. leafy vegetables) |
| Harvest | BBCH 50 | Biennial plants that are harvested in the first year (e.g. leafy vegetables) |
| Maximum LAI | BBCH 60 | All annual crops |
| Maximum LAI | BBCH 70 | Hop, vine, pome/stone fruits |
| Harvest | BBCH 90 | All crops except biennial plants that are harvested in the first year |
a
Winter crops are winter cereals and winter oil seed rape in D1 to D5, R1 and R3, and field beans in D2.
b
No spring points were defined for the R scenarios by FOCUS (2001). Therefore, for R1 and R3, the spring points for winter cereals and winter oil seed rape given for the FOCUS gw scenarios Kremsmünster and Piacenza were considered, respectively. For R4, the spring points for winter cereals were determined based on GGD analysis.
c
BBCH 21 is set outside the standard interpolation routine.
