Net radiation above and within a canopy of sweet corn (Zea mays L., var. Silver Queen) was monitored during early and late stages of growth in separate plots of the same field. The radiation sensors were mounted on automated reversing carriages which were mounted either at 25 or 300 cm above ground level. The mounted sensors traversed at 3.3 m span to achieve spatial averaging. Output voltages of each radiation sensor was continuously integrated and recorded at hourly intervals.
