Question

    Which growth parameter indicates the dry matter

    accumulation per unit leaf area and is used to assess photosynthetic efficiency?
    A Relative growth rate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Leaf area index Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Net assimilation rate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Specific leaf area Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Harvest index Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    NAR = (Rate of dry matter accumulation) / (Leaf area). It indicates the efficiency of photosynthesis per unit leaf area and helps in evaluating plant productivity.
