I find that most of the papers use "number of insects per one leaf" or "number of insects per 100 leaves" to describe the infestation or density of insects on a plant. So, my question is, how many leaves are in one potato plant?
It may vary very much. The largest number of leaves per plant with 5 haulms that I found - 280

Thank you so much for the direct answer to my question. It helped a lot!
Hello,
Potato contains compound leaves. it have 8-9 leaves per plant, but depends on variety.
Is there any relation between number of leaves per haulm and tuber yield..?. If so , any optimum ratio to be suggested..?
