Abstrakt: Presents a mathematical model for stimulating the preparation, propagation and absorption of radiation within crop canopies of random leaf distribution. Development of a new approach for tracing the quantity and direction of reflected and transmitted radiation; Comparison of the prediction of the downward and upward traveling flux densities under ideal conditions with measurement made in canopies of known architecture with three different species; Demonstration of the expected model deviation in the case of non-random foliage distribution.
