Overview

Regression analysis reveals multiple linear modeling of height and canopy width accurately estimates leaf area in sainfoin, highlighting a rapid non-destructive monitoring method.

Key Points

  • To compare four regression models (linear, logarithmic, polynomial, and multiple linear regression) for non-destructively estimating sainfoin leaf area from plant height and canopy width.
  • Evaluated 90 sainfoin plants at the flowering stage under controlled environmental conditions.
  • Measured plant height and canopy width manually, and determined true leaf area using a LI-COR LI-3100C Leaf Area Meter.
  • Constructed and compared linear, logarithmic, polynomial, and multiple linear regression models using SPSS software.
  • The multiple linear regression model achieved the highest predictive accuracy (R² = 0.981) by integrating both plant height and canopy width.
  • Single-predictor regression models exhibited substantially poorer predictive performance, including polynomial (R² = 0.413), linear (R² = 0.399), and logarithmic (R² = 0.361) formulations.
