Determination of Cassava Leaf Area for Breeding Programs

The evaluation of leaf area provides valuable information for decision-making the cassava yield trail. objectives this study were (1) to determine relationship between and segregating populations (2) investigate suitable mathematical model calculating area. single-row trial 60 progenies Kasetsart 50 × CMR38–125–77 was conducted from 2021 2022. eighteen carried out in sampled leaves each genotype collected measure length (L) width central lobe (W), number lobes (N), product (L W; K), N; J) recorded developing models. result showed that there statistically significant correlations maximum individual total crop fresh weight storage root weight. LA = −3.39L + 2.04K 1.01J − 15.10 is appropriate estimate index (LAI). This also provided estimated had highest correlation with actual biomass at final harvest as compared other three functions. results statistical significance LAI correlation.
