The growth analysis is employed to investigate the dependence of the growth capacity of a plant genotype on internal factors and the interaction between plant growth and its environment. Plant growth analysis is an explanatory, holistic and integrative approach of interpreting plant form and function. It uses simple primary data, such as weights and contents of plant components to investigate processes within and involving the whole plant. Growth analysis also plays an important role in the comparison of genotypes often as part of breeding programme. In this paper we summarized the said plant attribute under morphological, physiological categories.
