Abstract
The area (P) of any individual leaf of a one-year-old cardamom seedling can be estimated by a linear function P = 0.813B + 0.657 L.B. (R8 = 0.984) where L and B are the length and breadth of the leaf. The total functioning leaf area (Y) of a tiller with n* leaves can be estimated by a linear function Y = -3.168 L + 33.464 n b (R* = 0.976) where n is the total number of functioning leaves in the tiller and L and B are the linear measurements of median leaf. Further, the total functioning leaf area (A) of a whole clump consisting of several tillers can be estimated by a linear function. A = 11.935 L + 22.3 N.B (R8 = 0.979) where N is the total number of leaves in the clump and L and B are the linear measurements of the median leaf of tiller having the maximum number of leaves.
