Leaf area estimation by a simple and non-destructive method
In this study, the relation between leaf area and its dimensions was estimated using a non-destructive method. This method is based on this fact that the leaf shape does not change during the growing season. In this method, leaf area during the growing season is estimated based on the dimensions of the smallest leaf in the initial stage of plant growth or at any growth stage by measuring the le...
متن کاملNon-destructive determination of maize leaf and canopy chlorophyll content.
The objective of this study was to develop a rapid non-destructive technique to estimate total chlorophyll (Chl) content in a maize canopy using Chl content in a single leaf. The approach was (1) to calibrate and validate a reflectance-based non-destructive technique to estimate leaf Chl in maize; (2) to quantify the relative contribution of each leaf Chl to the total Chl in the canopy; and (3)...
متن کاملSupplementary information: method to quantify population of starch granule types
Experimental Design The trait of interest in our experiment is the proportion of the granule types. This is estimated from the granule size distribution using the two methods described in the main paper, namely the size threshold measure and mixture measure. The distribution of the granule size is obtained from a multi-phase experiment. Specifically, the experiment involved four phases: grain s...
متن کاملDiurnal Leaf Starch Content: An Orphan Trait in Forage Legumes
Forage legumes have a relatively high biomass yield and crude protein content, but their grazed and harvested biomass lacks the high-energy carbohydrates required to meet the productivity potential of modern livestock breeds. Because of their low carbohydrate content, forage legume diets are typically supplemented with starch rich cereal grains or maize (Zea mays), leading to the disruption of ...
متن کاملLeaf Indices to Quantify Nitrogen in Cotton
Acala cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, var. Maxxa) was planted into a split-plot factorial design field trial on the Shafter Research and Extension Center, Shafter, CA. The two main treatments were optimum irrigation (Io) and stressed irrigation (Is) containing five levels of soil nitrogen availability (-100, -50, optimum, +50, and +100 lbs N/ac). The objective of this field trial was to determine i...
