Phenological studies are important to understand the influence of climate dynamics on vegetative and reproductive growth of pineapple. In this study, 10 principal stages (0-9) and 48 secondary stages in the entire growth cycle of pineapple were accurately detailed using the extended Biologische Bundesantalt, Bundessortenamt and Chemische Industrie scale. This study focused on the entire flower and fruit development stages of pineapple and presented the correlation between phenophase and temperature. Normative descriptions can facilitate the implementation of production management measures and guidance for scientific experimental design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
