caro_total

Calculate total carotenoids using Method by Lichtenthaler (1987)

Functions tailored for scientific and student communities involved in plant science research. Functionalities encompass estimation chlorophyll content according to Arnon (1949) <doi:10.1104/pp.24.1.1>, determination water potential of Polyethylene glycol(PEG)6000 as in Michel and Kaufmann (1973) <doi:10.1104/pp.51.5.914> and functions related to estimation of yield related indices like Abiotic tolerance index as given by Moosavi et al.(2008)<doi:10.22059/JDESERT.2008.27115>, Geometric mean productivity (GMP) by Fernandez (1992) <ISBN:92-9058-081-X>, Golden Mean by Moradi et al.(2012)<doi:10.14207/ejsd.2012.v1n3p543>, HAM by Schneider et al.(1997)<doi:10.2135/cropsci1997.0011183X003700010007x>,MPI and TOL by Hossain etal., (1990)<doi:10.2135/cropsci1990.0011183X003000030030x>, RDI by Fischer et al.
