Plant height has important practical considerations for many
wheat producers and for plant breeders developing cultivars to
meet their needs. For example, tall wheat cultivars may be better
adapted to drier environments because of better seedling emergence and ease of harvest. In areas of greater precipitation or in
irrigated systems, semi-dwarf wheat cultivars may be preferred
[11]. From a modelling perspective, plant height is necessary to
calculate canopy conductances for use in determining canopy temperature [12]) in applications such as irrigation scheduling [13],
and in erosion modelling [14]
