Establecimiento de una metodología para calcular el índice área foliar del duraznero CV Jarillo, mediante fotos hemisféricas en la provincia de Pamplona.

Abstract

The following research center its work in growing peach variety Yellow Jarillo located in the province of Pamplona, where a (non-destructive) indirect model was established to calculate the leaf area index (LAI) using hemispheric photos analyzed in a specific software (GLA) for this calculation. IAF optimum values were obtained peach with the use of this methodology conclude that this indirect method is recommended to calculate the IAF in this culture, this method had the advantage of its low cost of implementation, greater accuracy in calculating the IAF about destructive methods, consistency against other destructive methods and effective use of time. Specifically target the indirect method mentioned direct one (destructive) linear regression which the IAF peach was found in the same locality was compared. It was determined that the two methods are applicable in this crop but significant differences were found regarding IAF day after defoliation (DDD). It was concluded that the (non-destructive) indirect method is appropriate for determining the leaf area index in economically important crops in the province of Pamplona and then set the agronomic crop management according to the results obtained with the methodology applied.
