The objective of this study was to create a single mathematical equation able to estimate the leaf area of different cassava cultivars from one lineal dimension without destroying any plant tissue. Two hundred leaves per cultivar from ten cultivars were used to calibrate the model and more than one hundred leaves per cultivar were used to test its predictive capacity as independent data. All equations were the result of the nonlinear correlation between the leaf area and the length of its central lobe. To validate it as a "general" equation, another set of five cultivars were used. A "specific" equation for each cultivar was also calibrated to compare with the "general" equation's performance. Cultivar Vassourinha has remarkably different leaf morphology from the other nine cultivars, making the "general" equation's tendency line deviate and lowering its coefficient of determination. Therefore, one more equation was generated excluding that cultivar and, as a result, it was not possible to estimate the leaf area from all the cultivars using only the "general" equation. The "general without Vassourinha" equation has a high accuracy level when estimating leaf area of the other nine cultivars, plus the extra five cultivars that were included to validate the general equation; all of them present similar leaf morphology. Due to its importance, Vassourinha cultivar's "specific" equation should be used when estimating leaf area for this cultivar or other cultivars with similar leaf morphology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
