Soybean canopy height and height growth. a, b canopy height (m) of soybean computed from TLS (99th percentile of FA_ALLPOINTS) and measured manually (reference) for the two varieties ‘Gallec’ and ‘Lissabon’. c, d canopy height growth (mm h⁻¹) of manually measured soybean plants (n = 10 per genotype and time point) of the varieties ‘Gallec’ and ‘Lissabon’. Red and blue lines indicated the canopy height growth rate from afternoon to afternoon calculated from the computed TLS data. Measurements were conducted in the year 2014: a, c 21 and 22 June; b, d 16 and 17 July. Shaded areas indicate the period between sunset and sunrise
