linear relationship between yield and intercepted radiation has been found for many crops (Monteith, 1977 ) . The Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. botrytis) and broccoli dry matter production of a plant stand (W ) integrated (Brassica oleracea L. italica) plants were grown in large over time (t) is thus given by pots in growth chambers for a range of temperatures (mean air temperatures from 7.0-25.3°C) and irradi-W= production of crops under non-limiting conditions can ing irradiance level
