Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association SPAD readings were positively correlated with chlorophyll contents in both faba bean cultivars (r2 0.99 and 1.00).
- Association SPAD reading had a close linear relationship with total leaf N content at the pod development stage in both faba bean cultivars (r2 0.88 and 0.99).
- Observation SPAD reading was highest in the 2nd to 4th leaves counted from the top of faba bean plants.
- Observation Leaf chlorophyll content of both faba bean cultivars showed an incomplete M-type curve from 3 weeks after transplanting to the ripening stage.
- Association SPAD readings were higher in Ryousai-issun than in Cairo 241 throughout the growth season.
- Recommendation The authors suggest that the SPAD-502 meter can measure chlorophyll and nitrogen contents of faba bean leaves for quick screening of genotypes.
