Dear Dssat\'users,

In the Specie file for peanut in DSSAT V3.5 there are
many funcyions that relate temperature to different crop
processes. I am interested in the temperature functions
that explain temperature effects on pod set, seed growth
and relative changes in partitioning (Seed and Shell
growth parameters), although this is also important to
the other functions. The minimum, two optimum and
maximum temperatures of these functions are mean daily
air temperatures?. As I am trying to explain peanut
crop responses to simulated changes in air temperature,
it is importnat for me to know to which temperatures are
these functions related.
This same question could be apply to other temperature
functions that appear in that file.

In addition, the function that relates temperature to
pod set, does it refer to pod growth rate?. I seems that
this is in that way as it is said in K.J. Boote et al.
1998. The CROPGRO model for grain legumes. pag 99-128.
In. Underestanding options for agricultural
production....

I will appreciate very much answer to these questions.

Sincerely,

Marta Vinocur
