Abstract

Results of light transmission measurements from three oil palm density experiments are discussed. Extensive measurements of leaf area distribution within crowns of one of these experiments were used to improve a three-dimensional model for light interception. The model was validated with light transmission results of the experiment. Subsequently the influence of various parameters on the instantaneous assimilate production was investigated. An outline for a breeding strategy based on the results of similar models is given
