Correlations between plant height and light interception in grasses by different light meter devices

Abstract

This study tested if the type of light meter device can influence the relationships between plant canopy height with light interception (LI) and leaf area index (LAI), in different types of warm-season grasses. LI and LAI were measured using Digital Plant Canopy Imager model 120 (CI-120) (CID Bio-science ®) and Plant Canopy Analyzer LAI-2000 (LI-COR ®). Seven warm-season grasses were evaluated Urochloa decumbens (
