- Intervention effect Water stress during drought reduced leaf emergence rate.
- Intervention effect Water stress during drought reduced the size of the leaves emerged and expanded.
- Association Water stress increased leaf senescence at the base of the canopy when LAI was above 3.
- Association Drought-related leaf area index decreased in cassava.
- Observation Reduced LAI was associated with lower dry matter production in cassava.
