Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Rachis-to-distal-petiole length had the same variance as total length.
- Method / resource Leaf width accounted for 90% of leaf-area variance and estimated area better.
- Method / resource Using both length and width did not further improve estimation.
- Method / resource Length- or width-based estimation was robust across growing system, nutrient-solution salinity and measurement date.
- Method / resource A universal relationship may produce considerable systematic estimation error for some genotypes and strong changes in assimilate partitioning.
