Source-sink Balance

Source-Sink Balance is a plant physiological concept denoting the quantitative relationship between the capacity of source organs to produce and export assimilates and the collective demand of sink organs for growth, storage, and reproduction, which governs the partitioning of resources and thereby determines crop growth and yield under a given crop load.
