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.enArticle
