Abstract

With a view to develop suitable method for simple, non-destructive, non-destructive and easy estimation of phyllode area of Acacia auriculaeformis A.Cunn. ex Benth. Regression analysis was undertaken with various parameters of phyllode, viz., length, width, length into width and multiple regressions with length and a width. Significant correlation was obtained with all the parameters. Equations thus derived showed highest value of coefficient of determination in case of multiple regression (0.962) and lowest with width (0.305). A model for determination of phyllode area of large number of phyllodes was also suggested.
