Title

Leaf area development, dry weight accumulation and solar energy conversion efficiencies of Phaseolus vulgaris L. under different soil moisture levels near Nairobi, Kenya

Maina Muniafu; J. M. N. Macharia; C.J. Stigter; et al. Socio-Environmental Systems Modeling 1999

Other claims from this paper (6)

Mechanism The drought-related decline in leaf area reduced radiation interception.
Intervention effect Drought limited dry weights and yields.
Observation Photosynthetic efficiency also appeared to decline.
Intervention effect Prolonged later-season drought produced a larger decrease in economic efficiency in the second season.
Mechanism The authors infer that drought limits assimilate partitioning and translocation to seeds.
Observation Obtained efficiencies matched better literature values for other crops.
