Modeling Washington apple bloom phenology and fruit growth

Author: Karen Lewis, Tory Schmidt, Nairanjana Dasgupta

Published: 2011

Summary: This projects objectives were: 1. Develop functional models for apple bloom development from bud break to petal fall for three cultivars: ‘Red Delicious’ (standard with historic data), ‘Cripps Pink’ (early bloomer), and ‘Gala’ (mid-late bloomer). 2. Develop fruit growth models for the same three cultivars from petal fall until harvest. 3. Incorporate models into WSU DAS system.
