The present investigation aimed to establish a relationship between leaf length x leal breadth and leat area in field bean CV. Co. 1. The regression equation fitted against leaf area and the product between terminal leaf length and breadth was Y = 3 09+1.63 (X) (r = 0.9647**), where Y = leaf area (trifoliate leaf) per leaf. X = Length X Breadth of the terminal leaf let of the trifoliate leaf (L x B). The leaf area was also predicted by using the formula A = 1,685 (L x B). A significant correlation (r=0.9630) was also obtained with actual and predicted leaf area by using the above constants. It was found that the predicted leaf area by regression equation was more accurate than by using A= 1685 (L x B) method. This study will be helpful to estimate the leat area in situ without destroying canopy.
