Leaf area is critical for crop light interception, and thereby has a substantial influence on crop yield. In this research an attempt was made to characterize the development of soybean leaf area by examining the process in 2 phases. First, the rate of increase of plastochron index as a function of temperature was evaluated under field conditions. A total of 7 cultivars was studied during 3 cropping seasons on Arredondo fine sand (loamy siliceous hyperthermic Grossarenic Paleudalf). A linear response was confirmed in the rate of increase in plastochron index to temperature with a base temperature of 9.degree.-11.degree. C for most cultivars. Second, an allometric model for predicting plant leaf area from plastochron index was developed. The same model with differing coefficients worked well for all cultivars. A simplified procedure for estimating the coefficients of the model was developed and resulted in good predictions of leaf area from plastochron index.
