Determination methodology of leaf surface area in apple trees planting

Abstract

The evidence of growing dynamic of leaf surface area represents the main index which determines the productivity of the most important process of plants vital activity - photosynthesis. It is known that the determination of leaf surface area at the end of vegetation period using the method of A. A Niciporovici et al., doesn’t represent significant difficulties. Considerably more complex is the leaf surface area determination during the vegetation period. That’s why the goal of our study was the elaboration of determination method of leaf surface area in apple trees planting.
