Abstract

Virtual coffee trees were reconstructed using partial morphological data, newly developed modules, AmostraCafe3D and VirtualCafe3D, and VPlants software.  Leaf area size, STAR and transmitted PAR in different horizontal layers were computed on the virtual coffee plants and confronted to measurements.
