Sowing Density Effect on Common Bean Leaf Area Development [PDF]
Sowing density is a major management factor that affects growth and development of grain crops by modifying the canopy light environment and interplant competition for water and nutrients. While the effects of density and plant architecture on static vegetative and reproductive growth traits have been explored previously in common bean (Phaseolus ...

Leaf area - sapwood area relations of lodgepole pine as influenced by stand density and site index
Leaf area to sapwood area ratios for a given species are believed to vary with factors such as site quality, stand density, early stand growth rates, and crown class. Based on data from 55 mature lodgepole pine trees (Pinuscontorta var. latifolia Dougl.) from 10 plots in southeastern Wyoming, we conclude that putative density and site effects on leaf ...

Response of leaf area index to density for two contrasting tree species
It is commonly assumed that mature forest stands with closed canopies support constant amounts (weight or area) of foliage, independent of stand density. For stand leaf area to be constant, mean leaf area must be plastic with respect to density.

Significant correlation between leaf vein length per unit area and stomatal density: evidence from Red Tip and Chinese photinias [PDF]
The vascular veins in photosynthetic leaves play an important role in transporting water and sugars throughout the plant body, and their venation pattern and vein density determine the hydraulic efficiency of the leaf. Likewise, stomatal density (SD) can

Morphological analysis of plant density effects on early leaf area growth in maize [PDF]
AbstractIn tillering Gramineae species, leaf-area growth at higher plant densities is limited because no higher-order tillers are formed. This paper analyses the mechanisms of density-related reduced leaf area per plant in non-tillering maize (Zea mays L.).Maize crops with a wide range of plant densities were grown in the field for two years.

Estimation of Leaf Area and Leaf Area Density for Design Optimization of a Recycling Tunnel Sprayer [PDF]
173-179A tunnel sprayer system is considered as one of the most economical and reasonable sprayers for protection of an orchard crop. The performance of the spraying system (spray deposition %, recycling %, and deposition % on abaxial and adaxial surface)

Using the conservative nature of fresh leaf surface density to measure foliar area
Abstract For a herbaceous species, the inverse of the fresh leaf surface density, the Hughes constant, is nearly conserved. We apply the Hughes constant to develop an absolute method of leafarea measurement that requires no regression fits, prior calibrations or oven-drying.

Fine root and leaf functional traits of coastal herbs and their relationship with soil factors
Leaf and root are the most sensitive organs to environment, exploring the relationship between root and leaf functional traits and their responses to environmental factors is helpful to reveal the utilization of resources by plants and their adaption ...

Influence of the fertilizers Slavol and Biohumus on potato leaf area and stomatal density [PDF]
Different types of fertilizers, such as chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers and natural fertilizers are available on the market. The type of fertilizer has a large impact on plant production quality. The aim of this study, which was conducted under field conditions in the village of Jurumleri near Skopje, North Macedonia, was to investigate the ...
