A. Patakas et B. Noitsakis, An indirect method of estimating leaf area index in cordon trained spur pruned grapevines, SCI HORT A, 80(3-4), 1999, pp. 299-305
The aim of this study was to validate an indirect method of estimating leaf
area index (LAI) in cordon-trained spur-pruned grapevines. Indirect estima
tes were made using the LAI-2000 instrument, based on the principles of gap
fraction theory. Results indicate that using an adjustment coefficient fac
tor, this method could provide rapid and accurate estimates of LAI. (C) 199
