Abstract
Corn plant physiological activities and consequently grain yield are affected by reduction in leaf area. The aim of this study was to quantify leaf area in corn plants and evaluate the consequences of different levels of defoliation in crop components. The experiment was conducted in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais state, during the crop year of 2007/2008. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with five replications. The treatments were as follows: control without defoliation; two apical leaves removed; four apical leaves removed; all leaves above spike removed; four intermediate leaves removed; all leaves below spike removed; and all plant leaves removed. The genotype used was hybrid NB7376. To quantify leaf area, images of corn leaves were analyzed using the program QUANT 1.0. The average hybrid leaf area was 5,687.72cm² per plant, with a leaf area index of 4.4. When all leaves above the spike were removed, grain yields fell by 20% and the mass of 1000 grains decreased by 8%. However, the percentage of damaged grains, the number of grains, and the number of rows per spike, the stand and plant lodging were not altered. The percentage of damaged grains and plant lodging were only affected in total defoliation. All leaf areas in corn are involved in the production of photoassimilates. However, physiologically active leaf area above the spike is characterized as the most efficient in grain yield.
