Optimization of Intercropping Planting Distance Using an Exhaustive Algorithm and Functional - Structural Plant Model

In intercropping distance research, traditional field experiments are time-consuming and tedious, and cannot be applied to quantitative interspecific distance quickly. Therefore it has become a big concern for researchers in this field to further reduce manual operation, and more automatically and quickly get the optimal planting distance. In this paper, an optimization algorithm was applied to...
