The photosynthesis and transpiration of crops
When a leaf absorbs radiant energy, only a small fraction is stored chemically in photosynthesis. In sunlight, this fraction is at most one-fifth of the energy in the visible spectrum, decreasing with increasing light intensity because of the finite ...
