| Abstract: | A formulation of the logistic growth equation in terms of twodifferential equations is proposed; this permits the asymptoteto depend upon conditions during the growth period such as substratesupply (irradiance) and temperature. The application of themodel to leaf area growth is outlined, and it is shown how observedresponses of mature leaf area to irradiance and temperaturemay be simulated. Logistic, leaf area, model |
