Abstract: A wide range of models have been proposed and developed for modelling sugar beet growth, each of them with different degrees of complexity and modelling assumptions. Many of them are used to predict crop production or yield, even when they were not originally designed for this purpose, and even though their predictive capacity has never been properly evaluated.
