The Chill Portions Dynamic model is a method used in meteorology and agriculture to assess the impact of chilling temperatures on plant growth, particularly for fruit trees. This model helps farmers understand how different temperature regimes affect crop yields.
Chill portions are calculated based on the number of hours that a plant is exposed to temperatures between 0Β°C and 7Β°C (32Β°F and 45Β°F). These chilling hours are crucial for many fruit trees, which require a certain amount of chill accumulation before they can flower and bear fruit.
Ti = Temperature in the i-th hour
n = Total number of hours
Tmax = Maximum temperature threshold (7Β°C)
