Descriptor: TRK_RATIO (TRK_RATIO)

Definition:

Test phenotype calculated as the ratio of trunk length divided by the height of the plant [TRKL/HT]. This is a proxy for the degree of branching on the lower portion of the plant, which has been identified in conversations as an important agronomic trait for fiber production. PGRU is evaluating this trait, but it is not currently included in the Hemp Phenotyping Handbook.
