write_xdb_mPlanting: Write SALUS xdb.xml Planting Management for Rotation...
In jdeines/salustools: Tools to Work with the SALUS Crop Model

Description Usage Arguments Details Examples

This function writes the planting management arguments after write_xdb_rotation has been run. See http://salusmodel.glg.msu.edu/salus.ddb.xml for more information about SALUS parameter options. This function should be followed with additional write_xdb_m* (rotation managements), and write_xdb_bottomMatter functions to complete the Experiment file. Includes an option to close the rotation compoment if this is the last management specified.

1 2	write_xdb_mPlanting(outFile, CropMod, SpeciesID, cultivar, Year, DOY, Ppop, RowSpc, SDepth, closeComponent = "N")

`outFile`	Full file path for an existing .xdb.xml to appended to, created with write_xdb_topMatter
`CropMod`	Crop model to be used. C = complex, S = simple. Intermediate I still under development
`SpeciesID`	Species ID
`Year`	Year of planting - if needed -planting on Reported date; XXXX
`DOY`	day of year of planting; only needed if planting management is 'R' or 'Y'. Valid range: 1-366
`Ppop`	Plant population at seeding; plants m^-2
`RowSpc`	Row spacing, cm
`SDepth`	planting depth, cm
`closeComponent`	'Y' or 'N' . Should the rotation component be closed? defaults to 'N'
`CultivarID`	cultivar ID, only needed for complex crop model

All other SALUS planting parameters are set currently as default.

# file path to existing .xdb.xml file created by write_xdb_topMatter

# append rotation component parameters to .xdb.xml; numeric parameters can be character or numeric
write_xdb_mPlanting(outFile = fileOut, CropMod = 'C', SpeciesID = 'WH', CultivarID = 'P25R40',
                   Year = 2006, DOY = 276, Ppop = 494.21, RowSpc = 19.05)
