“…These models can be used to determine the crop leaf area in the field, maintaining the plant integrity and allowing the monitoring of the crop growth and development. Mathematical models for leaf area estimation in function of length, width or product of length×width have already been developed for coffee (Favarin et al, 2002), hazelnut (Cristofori et al, 2007), eggplant (Hinnah et al, 2014), rose (Rouphael et al, 2010), crambe (Toebe et al, 2010), Aruana grass (Galzerano et al, 2012), forage turnip (Cargnelutti Filho et al, 2012), snap bean (Toebe et al, 2012a), jack bean (Toebe et al, 2012b), gladiolus (Schawb et al, 2014), pigeon pea (Cargnelutti Filho et al, 2015a) and canola (Cargnelutti Filho et al, 2015b), among other crops.…”
