Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of agricultural technology, in particular to a method for quickly and nondestructively measuring cotton leaf area index. Background technique
[0002] Leaf is an important organ for photosynthesis and synthesis of organic matter in cotton. Leaf Area Index (LAI) is an important indicator for judging the growth and development of field cotton, and directly affects cotton yield and fiber quality to a certain extent. The leaf area index is also an important parameter to characterize the cotton canopy structure and judge the growth of cotton, and it is also a key factor to determine the biomass and final yield of cotton. Leaf area index is a dimensionless parameter. Its size can determine the microclimate form above and below the cotton canopy. It can well describe the physiological processes of photosynthesis, transpiration, water interception, and spectral radiation in the cotton canopy system. It is an important physiol...
