dc.description.abstract	Being large in size, growth analysis of rubber and banana demands suitable sub-sampling systems. Also, there are practical difficulties in measuring the area of large banana leaves. In the study conducted to solve above problems, 40 percent in fresh weight of total biomass was identified as the suitable sub-sample size for different plant components of both crops. The area of banana leaves can be successfully estimated from the product of length and maximum width of the leaf with a correction factor of0.755.	en_US
