Use of Linear Measurements in the Estimation of Leaf area in some Varieties of Apple

Abstract

                                The leaf (constant) factor "K" of twelve apple varieties was calculated. The difference between observed and estimated leaf area was less than 0.50 per cent in all the varieties, The observed leaf area was highly correlated with estimated leaf area. Hence, the leaf area of apple varieties can be calculated by obtaining the product of leaf length breadth and "K" fector. The "K" factor varied with the varieties. However, the 'K' factor for apples can be teken as 0.744.
