Research Progress on the Growth and Development Simulation Model of Tobacco
Tobacco models are the core content of tobacco production informatization.These models offer the ca-pability to simulate the growth and developmental process of tobacco plants,their external physical attributes/morphological characteristics,and establish quantifiable associations/relationships with meteorological conditions,soil properties/characteristics,and agricultural management practices.They serve as valuable tools for comprehen-ding,predicting,and regulating tobacco growth and its response to the environment,thereby assisting in the man-agement and decision-making processes in tobacco production.This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in tobacco growth modeling,encompassing five critical modules:growth stage prediction,pho-tosynthetic production,biomass accumulation,assimilate partitioning,yield,and quality formation.It also exam-ines tobacco morphological modeling,which includes the characterization of key plant organs(roots,stems,leav-es,and flowers).Additionally,the study highlights certain persisting/existing challenges in the field of tobacco modeling,such as issues concerning systematization,rationality,and applicability.This paper also underscores that these challenges become even more pronounced under extreme climatic conditions.To address these issues,the paper emphasizes several key areas including the development of algorithms for modeling tobacco growth under extreme climatic conditions,the simulation of tobacco growth and leaf color changes following topping,and the integration of tobacco growth models with remote sensing technology as future research avenues in tobacco mod-eling.The paper also suggests that encouraging the incorporation of artificial intelligence technology into tobacco modeling will lay the groundwork for the evolution of tobacco models with distinct Chinese characteristics.
