A growth model in smart farming refers to the mathematical representation of the changes in growth factors of crops over time or as a function of crop age. This model quantitatively expresses the interactions among various variables and factors related to crop growth and is utilized to predict and understand the growth patterns of crops.
The growth model describes factors such as growth rates, crop yield, leaf area, leaf count, stem diameter, and other elements quantitatively over time. It helps in comprehending how crops grow under given environmental conditions and which factors influence the growth of crops.
Growth models are instrumental in optimizing agricultural productivity, resource usage, and predicting future growth patterns of crops. They provide valuable insights for enhancing agricultural productivity and are essential in automated systems and decision-making processes within smart farming.
