Summary:
This paper presents a comparative study of three recent models, i. e. the original Isagi's model and two recent models by Ye and Sakai, for modeling the alternate bearing of tree crops. The theories, definitions and performance of these models are discussed. All of these models are based on theoretical assumptions of resource allocation and budgeting in plant body. Simulations indicate that the new models may be more suitable for modeling the alternate bearing phenomenon in evergreen tree crops such as citrus plants.
