Intercropping Stokes Aster - Effect of Shade on Photosynthesis and Plant Morphology
Author(s): E. J. Callan and C. W. Kennedy
Month: Jul-Aug
Year: 1995

Pages: 1110-1115
Article Topic(s): Chemistry,Human Use,Light,Morphology
Research Setting(s): Agricultural
Species Referenced: Stokesia laevis (Stokes aster),
Abstract
The photosynthetic characteristics of Stokesia laevis were assessed to determine the potential intercropping potential of this epoxy acid-producing species. The authors conclude that sufficient leaf matter could be produced at light intensity of at least 120 µmol m-2 s-1 and as high as full sun conditions.Suggested Citation
