The accuracy of the model simulations for the period from 1972–2013 where we found a negative trend in PVTT heading also improved when we considered the combined effects of climate, sowing date and cultivar (NRMSE = 42% and 48%, R 2 = 0.82) compared with simulations that only considered the effects of climate (NRMSE = 51% and 90%, R 2 = 0.74) when using the PVTT heading obtained from the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons, respectively (Fig. 5 ).
