Abstract:Estimation of rice yield components is required to optimize cultivation management in fields. The leaf area index (LAI) can be a parameter for this estimation, but it has not been evaluated in farmers’ fields. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between the LAI and yield components using data collected over a five-year period in farmers’ fields for the cultivar Hitomebore. Leaf area dynamics (LAD) were parameterized by fitting a growth function to the time-series data of LAI measured using a canopy ana… Show more
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.
