چکیده
The primary role of a crop canopy is to capture sunlight that can be converted to biomass, including sucrose stored in stalks. Canopy development also has a bearing on the amount of water used by the crop and how soon weeds are shaded out. Cultivars are known to differ in the rate of canopy closure in the field, and also differ in traits that determine canopy development, such as leaf size and shoot density.
