Taro, Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott, is the most important species from the Araceae family. The leaf area (LA) is important for the interception of solar radiation and for the biomass production. The light extinction coefficient (k) is related to the leaf inclination angle, leaf arrangement, regarding the Leaf Area Index (LAI), providing an indication of the plants efficiency on intercepting ...

in order  to study the effect of drought stress on some growth indices of oil sunflower cultivars, a study was conducted in isfahan. the experiment was conducted as split plots in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in isfahan (51° 48' e, 32° 40' n).main plots were drought stress in four levels (80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan class a and cultiv...

estimation of vegetation cover attributes, such as the leaf area index (lai), is an important step in identifying the amount of water use for some plants. the goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using irs liss-iii data to retrieve lai. to get a lai retrieval model based on reflectance and vegetation index, detailed field data were collected in the study area of eastern iran....
