Title: A Method for Mensurating Plant Relative Growth Yield
Abstract: A new plant growth index and its mensuration are introduced.The advantages and disadvantages of this index are demonstrated with the results of two salt-treated plants Suaeda salsa and Kalanchoe¨ daigremotiana.The results show that relative growth yield,similar to relative growth rate,has better repetition than other growth indexes,and is easier to test the difference between treatments and the trends of plant negative growth,but relative growth yield is easier to calculate and more logical in numerical value than relative growth rate.The limit of relative growth yield and relative growth rate is that they can only be applied to solution-cultured plants or big sized plant samples.
