Abstract

Light measurement in mixed heterogenous and/or tall canopies is fraught with difficulties and in most cases impracticable. Mathematical models are being widely used now foe estimating light interception in a variety of cropping systems. A mathematical model developed to estimate light partitioning in an immature-rubber banana and pineapple hedgerow-intercropping system is presented. It is based on modified Monsi-Saeki equation to account for the wide-row gaps that exist in the cropping system which causes a violation of the assumptions in the aforementioned equation. The stimulation results showed that LAI plant height canopy width row-spacing and light extinction coefficient influence light interception as well as partitioning whereas height increment affects only light partitioning.
