Abstract
A group of parameters which describe the plant architecture of a greenhouse cucumber row crop were experimentally quantified. Leaf area index was found to be linearly related to plant height. Spatial distributions of the foliage area were described by a beta and a periodic cosine distribution function in the vertical and cross-row direction, respectively. The parameters of the distribution functions were also determined as functions of plant height. Each architectural parameter was chosen to be useful in greenhouse microclimate studies, especially in modeling the radiation transfer in a row crop canopy.
