Applications

The LI-3000C is ideal for measuring the area, width and length of non-detached leaves. Using the LI-3050C Transparent Belt Conveyer Accessory you can take the LI-3000C to the field or laboratory to measure large numbers of detached leaves in a short period of time.

A wide variety of leaves can be measured: from small samples such as wheat, rice or alfalfa, to larger samples such as corn, tobacco, and cotton.

Agronomy, plant physiology, plant pathology and entomology represent the four main groups who use the LI-3000C.
