The development of mathematical models from linear leaf measurements for predicting total leaf area has been shown to be a useful tool in studying plant growth and development (Kvet and Marshall, 1971; Simple, accurate models eliminate the need for expensive leaf area meters or time-consuming geometric reconstructions. Common measurements for prediction equations have been leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, or some combination of these variables.
