Abstract
Photosynthesis is the set of processes whereby radiant energy is converted and stored as chemical energy in most plants, algae and cyanobacteria. This process depends on radiation, temperature and CO2 concentration. The maximum efficiency of the process is 6{\thinspace}% but it is usually well below. The leaf-level photosynthesis can be described mathematically, and this analysis can be extended to the calculation of crop photosynthesis, as a function of its leaf area index, the coefficient of extinction as a shortcut to represent canopy architecture, and leaf photosynthetic parameters.
