Leaf Properties and Growth Measurement

The radial cross-sectional area measured by the AFIS is used to provide a correction to the diverse slopes of the relationship between the mass and the natural logarithm of the ratio of the incident light to the light attenuated by cotton fibers. The correction appears to be comparable to that obtained from Arealometer data. Comparisons with Arealometer cross sections indicate an R 2 of at least 0.97. This measurement, obtained more rapidly using the AFIS, may be used as a mass correction to determine strength on the Spinlab high volume instrument.
