Simulation-dynamic model for predicting the height of the generative shoot and the diameter of the commercial curtain of oregano (Origanum vulgare l.) in the school of growing clones

The subject of the study is a school for growing clones of oregano. The aim of the research is to develop a dynamic model for predicting the diameter of commodity curtains of oregano in the school of growing clones. The research was carried out in 2017 and 2018 at the experimental site in Kologriv, Kostroma region. As a result of the research, it was found that the diameter of the commercial curtain at the end of the growing season depended on the height of the generative shoot of the clone planted in the spring of the same year in the school of rearing and reached the flowering phase. A simulation-dynamic model for predicting the height of the generative shoot of a clone from planting to flowering and the subsequent forecast of the diameter of the commodity oregano curtain is developed. Verification of the model showed the accuracy of the forecast at the level of 87.40...99.22%, which determines its practical application in order to control the growth processes of clones during the growing season. An algorithm for implementing the model in the form of a computer program is given.
