Abstract

<p>Using the bolting rate data in autumn planting onion in Tonami City, Toyama Prefecture, and Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, which are snow-covered areas in winter, this paper examines a bolting rate estimation model. The model uses two indexes, VD and VDLN: VD is the value integrating the daily temperature response of vernalization, and VDLN is the value integrating the product of the daily temperature response and number of leaves to include the effect of plant size on bolting. The coefficient of determination, R2, in the nonlinear regression to the approximate curve with the bolting rate was investigated for VD and VDLN by varying the periods of integration. When VD was used, R2 was under 0.25 in all cases, and the rate of bolting could not be estimated accurately. On the other hand, using VDLN, R2 was around 0.75 at the maximum in the integration until January 20, or 80 days after planting when all the data of Tonami and Joetsu were used. R2 was over 0.95 in the integration until February 20 or later, or until 120 days or more after planting when only the data of Tonami were used. Therefore, the effectiveness of the model using VDLN was indicated. Practically, VDLN > 490 at 140 days after planting was shown as a threshold of bolting incidence in Tonami.</p>
