Simulation of oilseed flax leaf area index based on APSIM
Leaf area index(LAI)model of oilseed flax was constructed by data collected under different den-sities in Dingxi experiment site and with different nitrogen and phosphorus contents in Yuzhong in 2012 - 2013. En-vironment effect and genetic characteristics of flax were considered for accurate LAI model of oilseed flax. Potential LAI was conducted using potential leaves number,leaf size,plant density and water stress factor for leaf expansion. Actual LAI was conducted under water restriction and nitrogen assimilation. Senescence LAI was calculated by u-sing maximum ageing,light competition and water stress. These 3 LAI models were constructed based on APSIM (Agricultural Production System Simulator)model. Models were validated by data from Dingxi station and Yuzhong site in 2014. Validation results showed that the minimum value of RMSE was 0. 043,the maximum value RMSE was 0. 672,and the coefficient of determination R2 was between 0. 56 and 0. 98,which indicated that these models could accurately simulate LAI of oilseed flax. Results also showed that the rational planting density was 7. 5 × 105 plant per hectare in Dingxi with the optimum LAI of 3. 92,the optimum 75kg·hm - 2 N and 75kg·hm - 2 P2 O5 in Yuzhong with the optimum LAI of 4. 486(during flowering stage).
