Foliage cover and radiation interception [PDF]
Field Crops Research, 1986 Abstract A new method is described to measure foliage cover — the fraction of the ground covered by foliage — from photographs taken vertically above a crop. The relationship between cover and the interception of light by the crop is described by simple theory based on Beer's law and is shown to depend on the ratio of two attenuation coefficients ...

Study on Radiation Interception and Use in Some Mustard Varieties [PDF]
Asian Journal of Advanced Research and Reports, 2020 Aim: Solar radiation is the unique source of energy which drives the photosynthesis of green plants for producing biomass to living being. Use efficiency of solar radiation to produce biomass has been quantified for many crops in field condition but no study is undertaken for mustard although it is an important oil seed crop in the world as well as in ...
