The fraction of GAI produced in each day is initialized with zero degree-days, and the thermal timeduring the life of this fraction is calculated daily as follows:whereCGD dayGDD green = CGD day · ( 1 + GAI sensitivity · StressIndex Water )is the computed accumulated thermal time.StressIndex water is the computed daily plant water stress index .is the leaf duration sensitivity to water stress crop input parameter.GAI sensitivityWhen the accumulated thermal time of any given fraction of GAI reaches the thermal time threshold setby the leaf duration crop input parameter , this fraction is assumed to senesce and it is subtracted fromthe total GAI.The leaf area index (LAI), which includes total leaf area (green or senescent) is equal to GAI duringactive growth of green area and declines after flowering to reach the value set by the fraction ofmaximum LAI at maturity crop input parameter .
