Hello Dear Users.
Does the default SWAT representation of orchards show their planting, growth and harvesting?
Current Management Operations:
Year OP_NUM Operation Crop Heat Units
1 1 Plant/begin. growing season ORCD 0.150000005960464
1 2 Auto fertilization initialization (zero) 0.00999999977648258
1 3 Harvest and kill operation (zero) 1.20000004768372
In orchards I would like to include fruit trees (e.g. cherry, apple tree, cherry, plum).
If they are perennial plants (trees grow for several years), shouldn't I have some other operations? For example:
Harvest only operation
Kill/end of growing season
We collect fruit and the trees are left for next year.
Can the same be done for raspberries or blueberries?
I would be very grateful for your help.
Best regards
Damian
I don't have any answers for your questions but I hope someone does! Perhaps there is some useful info lurking in the literature. I will let you know if I stumbled into anything.

Dear Damian,
Maybe this reference can help.
