RESUMOObjetivou-se, através deste trabalho, desenvolver e validar uma régua que mede, de maneira rápida e não destrutiva e diretamente no campo, a área foliar do algodoeiro. Aos 90 dias após a emergência da cultura, amostras de folhas de 10 plantas do algodoeiro, cultivar BRS 187 8H, foram coletadas, das quais se retiraram todas as folhas para composição da amostragem e, em seguida, tiradas cópias xerox, e só então feitas medidas de comprimento e, com o auxílio de um planímetro, mediu-se a área foliar para definir a escala da régua. Em uma segunda etapa se utilizaram as cultivares BRS Safira, BRS 201 e BRS Verde, para testar a régua. A análise de regressão entre a área foliar medida na amostra de folhas e a estimada, obteve bom ajuste com coeficiente de determinação igual a 0,95. Comparando-se as médias entre os dois métodos verificou-se que a média da área das folhas das quatro cultivares do algodoeiro medidas com a régua, não diferiu estatisticamente da área média medida com o planímetro. A régua pode ser recomendada para se fazer medida direta no campo em cultivares de algodão de folhas cordiformes e planofilares, com relação à horizontal.Palavras-chave: equação de regressão, folha okra, análise de crescimento Development of a ruler for measurements of leaf area of the cotton plant ABSTRACTThe objective of this research was to develop and validate a ruler that measures the leaf area of the cotton plant, in a quick and non-destructive manner and directly in the field. Ninety days after the emergence of the crop, leaf samples of tencotton plants of cultivar BRS 187 8H were collected, of which all leaves were removed to prepare the samples and, after that, they were photocopied and length measurements were done with the help of a planimeter to define the range of the ruler. In the second stage of the experiment, the cultivars BRS Safira, BRS 201 and BRS Verde were used to test the ruler. The analysis of regression between the leaf area measured in samples of leaves and the estimated areas showed a good adjustment with coefficient of determination equal to 0.95. Comparing the means of both the methods, it was verified that the mean leaf area of the four cultivars of cotton, measured with the proposed ruler, did not differ statistically from the mean area measured with the planimeter. The ruler can be recommended to determine, directly in the field, the leaf area of cotton cultivars with cordiform and planofile leaf structure, in relation to the horizontal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
