Compute the number of degree days (Thermal time) from emergence to ligulation of the flag leaf. Thermal time from emergence to the ligulation of the flag leaf was computed using an algorithm developed by Jones and Kiniry (1986), considering that growth speed increases as a linear function of temperature between a base and an optimal temperature, and then decreases linearly between optimal and maximal temperature. Cardinal temperatures were 11∞C for base temperature (Tb) (Lafarge and Hammer, 2002), 34∞C for optimum temperature (Topt) and 44∞C for maximum temperature (Tmax) (Abdulai et al., 2012).

As the calibration available provides BMP estimates in NmLCH4g-1 of Volatile Solids (VS), these estimates are converted in NmLCH4g-1 of Dry Matter (DM) expressed in normal conditions (0°C, 1.013 bar) and per gram of DM (NmLCH4g-1) following the formula: BMP_DM=BMP_VS*(DM-MM)/DM where VS is the volatile solid content (g/g raw matter), DM the dry matter and MM the mineral matter (in %DM).

The NIRS calibration has to be provided. The Cellulose Brute de Weende or Cellulose de Weende corresponds to the organic residue obtained after a double hydrolysis realized successively with an acid and a basic solution (De Weende Method). The measurement of the cellulose brute de Weende corresponds to an estimation by default of the content in cell wall as this one is in reality two to four times more important. At the same time, it corresponds to an estimation by excess of the cellulose content as the residue also contains a variable fraction of lignin and hemicelluloses.
