Abstract
For a crop plant, it is suggested that photosynthetic productivity is governed by the capacity for carbon dioxide fixation available at any given time; by a host of environmental and physiological factors which may limit photosynthesis to less than capacity; and by the rate at which assimilate is partitioned into useful yield organs. The photosynthetic capacity, as determined by the structure and physiology of the crop canopy, forms the subject of this review.
