Abstract This experiment was conducted with the objective of evaluating the performance sage (Salvia officinalis L.) in different agroecology of Ethiopia for morpho-agronomic and chemical traits at Wondo genet, Hawassa, Qoqa and ...

In recent decades petroleum pollution in the tropical rainforest has caused significant environmental damage in vast areas of the Amazon region. At present the extent of this damage is not entirely clear. Little is known about the specific impacts of petroleum pollution on tropical vegetation. In a field expedition to the Ecuadorian Amazon over 1100 leaf samples were collected from tropical tre...

A major component in a crop growth model is leaf area development, which has a major influence on photosynthesis and transpiration. The knowledge about the leaf area development of wheat especially in high temperature environments is incomplete. The aim of this study was to quantify leaf production and senescence of 15 spring wheat cultivars. Field experiments were conducted at the research far...

the objective of this study was to obtain relationships between plant leaf area (cm2plant-1) with leaf dry weight (g plant-1), vegetative dry weight (g plant-1) and plant height (cm) in faba bean (vicia faba l.). the experiment was conducted at the research farm of gorgan university of agricultural sciences in 2011-2012 growing season. the experimental design was a randomized complete block des...

A method using Zernike Moments (ZM) and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) for classification and recognition of plant leaf images is proposed in this paper. After preprocessing, we compute the shape features of a leaf using Zernike Moments (ZM) and texture features using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and then Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for plant leaf image class...

Five varieties of napiergrasses (Pennisetum purpureum) were fractionated botanically into leaf blade, leaf sheath, stem and head. Chemical composition of each of whole napiergrass and their botanical fractions were determined. Correlation, linear and multiple regressions between botanical fractions and nutritive value of varieties of napiergrass were also estimated. All botanical fractions diff...

In this paper we present survey on various classification techniques which can be used for plant leaf classification. A classification problem deals with associating a given input pattern with one of the distinct classes. Plant leaf classification is a technique where leaf is classified based on its different morphological features. There are various successful classification techniques like kN...

Recognition and segmentation of plant organs like leaves is one of the challenges in digital plant phenotyping. Here we present a 3D histogram-based segmentation and recognition approach for top view images of rosette plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana and tobacco. Furthermore a Euclidean-distance-map-based method for the detection of leaves and the corresponding plant leaf segmentation was de...

Leaf miners typically show non-random distributions both between and within plants. We tested the hypothesis that leaf miners on two oak species were clumped on individual host trees and individual branches and addressed whether clumping was influenced by aspects of plant quality and how clumping and/or interactions with other oak herbivores affected leaf-miner survivorship. Null models were us...
