Leaf area index measurements

Leaf area index (LAI) is a key structural characteristic of forest ecosystems because of the role of green leaves in controlling many biological and physical processes in plant canopies. Accurate LA1 estimates are required in studies of ecophysiology, atmosphere-ecosystem interactions, and global change. The objective of this paper is to evaluate LA1 values obtained by several research teams us...

From a Single Leaf of Sunflower

When single leaves attached at a given node were allowed to carry on photosynthesis in 14CO2 for 30 min, younger plants showed a higher proportion of upward translocation than did older plants. Downward translocation of 14C-photosynthate was stimulated by ATP pre-treatment of the translocating leaf, while upward translocation was not affected by ATP. A similar phenomenon was observed in the tra...

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...

Estimation of intestinal digestibility of undegraded sunflower meal protein from nylon bag measurements. A mathematical model.

Ruminal nitrogen degradation and intestinal digestibility (ID) of the undegraded nitrogen of three sunflower meals were determined on three wethers fitted with rumen cannulae and T-type duodenal cannulae using nylon bags. Meals were obtained from semi-dehulled seeds by conventional hexane extraction (samples SD1 and SD2) or from whole seeds by a discontinuous procedure of pressing and hexane ex...

Non-destructive linear model for leaf area estimation in Vernonia ferruginea Less.

Leaf area estimation is an important biometrical trait for evaluating leaf development and plant growth in field and pot experiments. We developed a non-destructive model to estimate the leaf area (LA) of Vernonia ferruginea using the length (L) and width (W) leaf dimensions. Different combinations of linear equations were obtained from L, L2, W, W2, LW and L2W2. The linear regressions using th...

Quick Estimation of Apple (Red Delicious and Golden Delicious) Leaf Area and Chlorophyll Content

ABSTRACT- The evaluation of leaf area and leaf nutritional value is important for crop growth modeling and estimations of its performance. The purpose of this study was to use image processing techniques to develop an economical method to ease the assessment of nutrient status and leaf area (LA) of plants and to compare the outcomes of this method with linear models. Leaf area and leaf chloroph...
