Abstract
Sequential dry-matter measurements for winter wheat crops grown at different sites during different seasons were plotted against accumulated potential evaporation. A relation consisting of 2 intersecting straight lines represented the observations. Early crop growth had a gentle slope due to an incomplete leaf canopy. Later growth occurred at a rate which depended upon the amount of applied N, the amount of radiation and the availability of water. The intersection occurred consistently at a leaf area index of 1.25.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
