An Estimation of Leaf Area Damaged by Leaf Eater Using Spectral Reflectivity.

Leaf area estimation by a simple and non-destructive method

In this study, the relation between leaf area and its dimensions was estimated using a non-destructive method. This method is based on this fact that the leaf shape does not change during the growing season. In this method, leaf area during the growing season is estimated based on the dimensions of the smallest leaf in the initial stage of plant growth or at any growth stage by measuring the le...

Damaged Paddy Leaf Detection Using Image Processing

In an agriculture field paddy is one of the major staple foods in the Asian countries like China, India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh etc. But paddy disease likes a Blast; Bacterial Leaf Blight; Rice tungro etc. stops the growth of the paddy trees. If the diseases are not detected at an early possible stage then there is a decrease in the production of paddy. In this paper a noble methodology i.e....

Estimation of leaf area with an integrating sphere.

Relative absorptance of intact branches measured with an integrating sphere was compared to leaf area estimated by conventional methods (volume displacement and scanning area meter) for three conifer species: Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP, Pinus banksiana (Lamb.) and Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco. A consistent relationship between relative absorptance and surface area emerged for the three s...

estimation of leaf area index using irs satellite images

estimation of vegetation cover attributes, such as the leaf area index (lai), is an important step in identifying the amount of water use for some plants. the goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using irs liss-iii data to retrieve lai. to get a lai retrieval model based on reflectance and vegetation index, detailed field data were collected in the study area of eastern iran....
