Workpackage 4 will provide the validation experiment of the technology and knowledge accumulated from the previous workpackages. Different vegetative parameters, such as the number of internodes, stem length or leaf area, are being controlled as inputs for the model. Reproductive parameters are also being measured. Total dry matter production and its partitioning are being determined from weekly fruit harvests and the final destructive harvest of the plants. Fruit load, fruit growth duration and potential fruit weight are also monitored.
