have gone for graph paper calculation of leaf area but can anyone help me out with tricky and easy method/formula to know total leaf area of a plant without measuring every leaf?
Why dont you measure canopy volume of trees. Secondly, you can measure the number of leaves per meter of shoot length and number of growing fruits per meter shoot length to give you fair idea about leaves-to-fruit ratio ...This is what , we follow as standard practice....
Obtain average leaf area by measuring c. 30 leaves. Then count the number of leaves per plant. You then multiply these values :)
The best is to take same number of the leaves from the top, the middle and the bottom parts of the tree and then I agree with Mr Pegman you could multiply your mean by the total number of the leaves
Which kind of tree , are you talking about , Sareeta. If it is a perennial tree, there is no other way, i am afraid....
AI algorithm. You could use values of trees/plants as a model and then stipulate the species and then use imagery to calculate it.
Thank you so much to everyone for all your suggestion and positive information.
I find Pegman and Saad suggestion feasible one
thank you guys
and thank you to all once again
it depending on the crops or trees, take a possible number of leaf samples may be 30/50/------ depending on the volume of trees, here after measure the leaf area and make it average and multiply the whole numbers.
