A function is presented which closely describes photosynthetic area production and senescence for winter wheat canopies. Maximum and mean rates of foliar growth and death can be calculated, together with estimations of initial canopy area and the position and value of maximum canopy area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
