DI BENEDETTO, A  y  TOGNETTI, J. Técnicas de análisis de crecimiento de plantas: su aplicación a cultivos intensivos. RIA. Rev. investig. agropecu. [online]. 2016, vol.42, n.3, pp.258-282. ISSN 1669-2314.

The description of plant or crop growth, throughout their life or production cycles, as well as the evaluation of treatments that may modify vegetable biomass accumulation, require the estimation of parameters, which can be statistically tested. Growth analysis methods provide useful tools for these purposes. They can be applied to multiple situations, but their use in intensive cropping systems show particularities and cautions that need to be taken into account, about which information is relatively scarce and scattered. This review describes the most appropriate parameters to be used in vegetable, fruit and ornamental species, and both discusses and illustrates the use of different alternatives that can be chosen for growth description at either the isolated plant or crop levels.
