A model for estimating the area of individual leaves (LA) by employing their dimensions was developed chrysanthemum. Further hypotheses were tested: (a) LA estimation is improved considering blade length (Lb) rather than leaf (L), and (b) a reasonable can be attainable L in conjunction to shape trait, which cultivar dependent. For development, six cultivars employed (1500 total), while validati...

in order to evaluate competition among some weed species and canola, a field experiment in astan ghods razavi's field in mashhad was done on 2007-2008. thirty 50×50 cm quadrates were used in two times (stem and flower production) to measure the canola dry weight, leaf area index and canola and weeds density with destruction and thirty similar quadrates were used for counting weed species a...

Leaf area (LA) is a valuable key for plant physiological studies, therefore accurate and simple models for LA determination are important for many experimental comparisons. A greenhouse experiment was conducted from October 2009 to February 2010 in two basil cultivars (Purple Ruffles and Genovese) to estimate LA, leaf dry weight (DW), leaf fresh weight (DW) and leaf dimensions (width-W and leng...

accurate and nondestructive methods to determine individual leaf areas of plants are useful tools in physiological and agronomic research. a determination of the individual leaf area (la) of such species in brassicaceae family as red cabbage (brassica oleracea var. cappitata l. f. rabra), cabbage (brassica oleracea var. cappitata l. f. alba) and broccoli (brassica oleracea var. italica l.) ...

carbon dioxide (co2) concentration of the global atmosphere has increased during the last decades. increasing global atmospheric co2 concentrations are expected to influence crop production. in order to evolution of co2 concentration effects on morphophysiologycal traits in tagets, ageratum and gauilardia, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 3 replications and 12 t...

Measurement or estimation of leaf area is essential for understanding crop responses to experimental treatments. The objective of this study was to develop regression models for estimating leaf area of field-grown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) from measurements of leaf dry weight (LDW), vegetative components (stems and leaves) dry weight (VDW) and plant height (PH). Three cotton cultivars (Del...

ABSTRACT- The evaluation of leaf area and leaf nutritional value is important for crop growth modeling and estimations of its performance. The purpose of this study was to use image processing techniques to develop an economical method to ease the assessment of nutrient status and leaf area (LA) of plants and to compare the outcomes of this method with linear models. Leaf area and leaf chloroph...
