BK 560 increased linearly with temp. (10-34°C) and declined to zero at 45-47°. Other developmental processes such as leaf and spikelet initiation and tillering had a similar response to temp. increases. The leaf extension rate was also a linear function of temp. up to 34°, thus below this the time required to form a complete canopy decreased with increasing temp. The amount of DM produced/unit of intercepted radiation appears to be conservative at about 2.4 g/MJ for mean air temp.of 20-36° Elsevier 1985 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://oar.icrisat.org/4806/1/FCR_11_2-3_141-160_1985.pdf Ong, C K and Monteith, J L (1985) Response of pearl millet to light and temperature.
