Abstract

In this paper, we present a software tool named PruningSim dedicated to dynamic simulation and visualization of plants. The kernel framework provides various classes for event manager to schedule the handling of different types of events. The simulation in PruningSim platform is based on Markov model corresponding to branching processes in plants. Topological and geometrical parameters can be assigned automatically or modified manually in the simple graphical user interface. Visualization and image setting option is also available. Furthermore, we present one case study for simulation nectarine branches' responses to pruning intensities using PruningSim.
