Abstract
The area of individual leaf (P) of any position in one year old West Coast Tall (WCT) coconut seedlings can be estimated using a single linear function, P= 27.39+ 0.6 X in sq.cm. where X is the product of length and width of lamina, with a reliability of 91 per cent. The total functional leaf area (Y) can be estimated using the function Log (Y) = -0.434 + 1.042 Log (N) + 1.060 (X) with a reliability of 99 per cent and where N is the number of leaves, X is the mean product of length and width of all leaves, or using the function Log (Y) = 0.819—0.41 Log (N) + 0.915 Log (X3) where X3 is the product of length and width of the third leaf and N the number of leaves, with a reliability of 97 per cent.
