Interception of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) was evaluated relative to greenness and normalized difference [MSS (7 5)/(7 + 5)] for five planting dates of wheat for 1978-79 and 1979-80 at Phoenix, Arizona. Intercepted PAR was calculated from leaf area index and stage of growth. Linear relationships were found with greenness and normalized difference with separate relationships descr...
