Development of a Model for Estimating Leaf Area and the Number of Flower Using Leaf Length and Width of Farfugium japonicum Kitam.

The leopard plant has the characteristic of being used for ornamental purposes when there are yellow spots on leaves, and is widely as a bed viewing flowers. To set several indicators to predict growth crops with value, quantitatively express relationship between necessary. In this study, we determine model that estimates leaf area number flower Farfugium japonicum Kitam. using length width, conducting regression analysis some models. As an indicator estimating flower, width F. were measured applied 8 result models estimated R2 values linear all higher than 0.84 0.80. validation, most reliable among flowering, was 0.90 0.82, respectively. Using various can be quality evaluation from easy-to-measure morphological factors, plants will facilitated.
