Diurnal Changes in Plant Geometry and Sunlit Leaf Area in Cotton Plant

S. Thanisawanyangkura,H. Sinoquet, M. Cretenet and E. Jallas


 
ABSTRACT

The diurnal changes in plant geometry due to leaf orientation behaviour of row-planted cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. ‘DES 119') and its relationship to sunlit leaf area distribution at three different stages of development were studied in the field. Three-dimensional electromagnetic digitizing was used for plant geometrical structure measurement at three different periods of the day.
