Abstract
- Crop heat units (CHU) and ≥10 °C active accumulated temperature (≥10 °C AAT) are important indexes to quantify the effects of temperature on soybean development. The relative maturity group (RMG) is widely used in the classification of different soybean varieties. However, CHU and ≥10 °C AAT (AAT) were applied in Canada and northeastern China, respectively, and the relationships among CHU, AAT and RMG are poorly documented. The objective of this study is to analyze the conversion function among CHU, AAT and RMG based on two datasets. The first dataset was obtained to analyze the relationship between RMG and AAT in 395 varieties in Northeast China. The second dataset was obtained to calculate the relationship between CHU and AAT at 95 weather stations based on 30-year climatic data (1990–2019). The results showed that both relationships were significantly and positively correlated, and the R-square of these relationships were 0.90 and 0.98, respectively. The distribution of CHU or AAT in the Northeast is proposed. These results can be extensively used for predicting the CHU or AAT of soybean cultivars given the known RMG, thus determining the adaptation zone as well as the growth stage of agricultural practices and responses to heat accumulation. The conclusion of the current study is expected to be widely adopted by soybean regionalization and germplasm exchanges throughout the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
