DESCRIPTION:  FSPM of rice, considering vegetative and generative development based on sink (growth of organs) and source (photosynthesis according to Farquhar) activity. The photosynthesis model is invoked for each leaf blade and coupled with a radiation model, which provides an estimate of intercepted light per leaf blade, computed from the position and type of light sources and the canopy structure.
