Abstract
Changes in the leaf area and light profiles of a tall and a short sorghum are described and the development of leaf area in these and in two other sorghums of intermediate height is examined in relation to the rate of appearance, the size and the length of life of the leaves. The extent to which these changes are related to the seasonal fluctuations in crop growth rate is discussed.Keywords
