Abstract Utilization of modern breeding techniques for developing high yielding and uniform plant types ultimately narrowing the genetic makeup most crops. Narrowed these crops has made them vulnerable towards disease insect epidemics. For sustainable crop production, variability must be broadened against various biotic abiotic stresses. One ways to widen configuration is identify novel additio...

Intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey) is being developed for use as a new perennial grain crop through breeding and agronomic research. However, progress has been hampered by lack of understanding environmental requirements flowering production. Therefore, we phenology model IWG adapted from the STICS soil-crop model. The was compliant with experimental ...
