Hello everyone, I want to measure the chlorophyll content of a corn plant during its growth (3 months). Wich leaves of the plant do you choose for those kinds of measurements ? Do you change it over time or do you keep the same leaf from the beginning to the end ?
Thank for your answers.

Hello
Corn leaves fall off during the plant growth in corn so, it is impossible to take SPAD readings from same leaves. We can choose any leaves but needs to be measured at the midpoint of the leaves. Better choose Younger leaves.
Note: The central leaves in corn has high N concentration.
