Solar Energy Balance in Crop Canopy: Understanding Input and Output
Solar energy plays a crucial role in the metabolic processes of plants, particularly in photosynthesis and transpiration. The input and output of solar energy at the canopy level impact the growth and productivity of crops, influenced by factors like leaf characteristics and plant density. Enhancing understanding of this energy balance can lead to improved crop production and quality.

UNIT-03 TRANSPIRATION AND EVAPORATION COOLING LECTURE 13:- ENERGY BLANCE ; SOLAR ENERGY INPUT AND OUTPUT AT CROP CANOPY LEVEL
SOLAR ENERGY The solar radiation brings energy to the metabolic process of the plants. The principal process is the photosynthesis assimation that makes synthesize vegetal components from the water . CO2 and the light energy possible .
SOLAR ENERGY INPUT IN CANOPY LEVEL The solar energy of transpiration loss of water from living tissue of plant of ariel parts in the form of water vapour. The leaves absorb enormous amount of the radiant energy. And also plants utilize less than 1% of incident solar energy. It is the loss of water in the from of water vapour through the living tissue of plants and the soil surface also is know as evapo-transpiration.
The solar energy input of canopy level in the plant is determine by several factors such as the transmissibility of the leaf . The leaf arrangement and inclination ,plant density, plant hight , and the angle of the sun . The vertical distribution of leaf area ,leaf angles, leaf absorptivity and with in the canopy level.
OUTPUT AT CROP CANOPY LEVEL The out put of crop canopy level is the portion of a plant cropping or crop formed by the collection of individual plant crowns. In the forest ecology canopy to the upper layer formed by mature tree crowns and including the biological organism. It help in the improvement of crop production and the quality of the plant .
