Abstract:
Based on field experiments,dynamic changes of leaf area,specific leaf area(
SLA)and dry leaf ratio are described and quantified.After wintertime,specific leaf area decreases linearly with logarithmic relative development stage (
RDS)and
SLA=-21.07×1n(
RDS)+19.427.The maximum and minimum specific leaf area is 40 m
2/kg and 19m
2/kg,respectively.Dry leaf ratio(
DR)has parabola relationship with relative development stage and
DR=2.142×
RDS -1.8001×
RDS +0.6571.This study provides a new method and bases for the simulation of winter wheat leaf area in the crop mode1.
