Abstract: Various systems, methods, and computer program products are described for generating and using a computer model that models development of a plant. For example, a method may include generating a computer model based on empirical data. The computer model may eliminate assumptions regarding growing conditions in order to improve outcome predictions. A method may include recommending, using the computer model, different growing conditions based on a particular plant species and observed growing conditions and/or phenotypic features of the plant. The observed growing conditions may be input by sensors and/or a grower. A method may include generating, using the computer model, a planning schedule that includes optimum growing conditions that facilitates optimal scheduling for plant being cultivated. The recommendations and/or planning schedule may facilitate comparison of phenotypic features of a model plant grown under optimal conditions and a plant being grown by a grower.
