Abstract
An expanded growth model for annual and perennial agricultural crops has been developed. Data from several field studies with corn (Zea mays L.) have been analyzed to provide support for the model. Other studies with the perennials bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) and bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge) have been used to provide additional support. In this article field data are used to simulate the growth curves for Coastal bermudagrass. Results lend further confirmation of the model. Dry matter and plant N accumulation are linked in a quantitative way. The growth model can be combined with other models which relate seasonal response to applied nutrients to estimate production.
