A digital camera fitted with a hemispherical lens was used to generate canopy leaf area index (LAI) values for a banana (Musa spp.) field trial with the aim of establishing a method for monitoring stresses on tall crop plants. consisted of two cultivars susceptible to nematodes, a plantain, Gonja manjaya and an East African Highland banana, assessing nematode numbers in roots and the necrosis they caused at each of two harvests and the relationship is detecting biotic growth checks by nematodes on bananas, and demonstrated the potential of the approach for studies of Citation: Roderick H, Mbiru E, Coyne D, Tripathi L, Atkinson HJ (2012) Quantitative Digital Imaging of Banana Growth Suppression by Plant Parasitic This work uses leaf area index (LAI) to measure banana plant ,10,000; 10,000–,100,000 and 100,000 or more/100 g roots) for two harvests for both plants to which nematodes were and were not added prior to ./cache/work_jcbqhrzfhfbcbfwr23vuxdvq2a.pdf ./txt/work_jcbqhrzfhfbcbfwr23vuxdvq2a.txt
