“…The non-linear relationship between SPAD values and NNI has been proved in fescue (Errecart et al, 2012), corn (Ziadi et al, 2008), wheat (Vouillot et al, 1998;Prost and Jeuffroy, 2007) and cocksfoot (Duru, 2002), and the correlation of RSPAD values with NNI, and relative grain yield has been studied only in corn (Ziadi et al, 2008) and wheat (Debaeke et al, 2006). Debaeke et al (2006) also found that the non-linear relationship between RSPAD values and NNI was not significantly affected by years, genotypes, and developmental stages.…”
