Variation of The Leaf Area Index of Some Vegetables Commonly Grown in Greenhouse Conditions with Cultural Practices

Leaf area index (LAI) values in plants affect photosynthesis and carbohydrate production directly since it is a measure of photosynthetically active the where transpiration occurs. an important parameter required to determine plant water consumption by using climatic data especially used calculation aerodynamic resistance. vary depending on varieties cultural practices can be determined indirectly various methods. In this study, was aimed LAI four different crops (tomato, eggplant, cucumber pepper) grown Antalya, greenhouse cultivation intensive, practices. The results showed that significantly affected such as leaf pruning differences. obtained from study crop evapotranspiration resistance under similar conditions.
