A rectangular plot of 1 ha (10 000 m²) is planted with maize. The leaf‑area index (LAI) of the crop is 3.2. The greenhouse roof lets in an average photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 500 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹ for 12 hours each day. Assuming the crop intercepts 90 % of the incident light, calculate the total number of moles of photons intercepted by the crop per day.

Answer Options

A. 6.22 × 10⁴ mol photons day⁻¹ (≈ 62 200 mol)
B. 7.0 × 10⁵ mol photons day⁻¹ (≈ 700 000 mol)
Correct Answer C. 6.22 × 10⁵ mol photons day⁻¹ (≈ 622 080 mol)
D. 5.5 × 10⁵ mol photons day⁻¹ (≈ 550 000 mol)
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
6.22 × 10⁵ mol photons day⁻¹ (≈ 622 080 mol)
