Abstract The objective of this research was to evaluate the technical feasibility SPAD index in diagnosis N status ‘Esmeralda’ peach. field trial, with five rates applied soil (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg ha-1 as urea form) conducted a randomized block design four replications. During years 2014, 2015, 2016 2017, readings were carried out Minolta SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter, leaf middle part, 40 l...

in order to study the effects of conventional and conservation tillage with management residue on wheat physiological properties, a field experiment was conducted in 2013-2014 at mashhad agricultural and natural resources research center of razavi khorasan province. this experiment was carried out as split plot design based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. main plo...

Environmental conditions and photoperiod length drive the seasonal variability of gas exchange in plants. Still, little is known about trees’ adaptation to climate change, expressed as a delay decreasing photosynthetic capacity at end growing season. We investigated effect elevated air humidity (RH) sampling period (from July September) on net photosynthesis (A n ), dark respiration (R), daytim...

-In this study, impacts of vector quantization compression on prediction of leaf chlorophyll content of crops for the application to precision agriculture were evaluated. The compression algorithm tested in this paper is called successive approximation multi-stage vector quantization (SAMVQ). The hyperspectral data used were acquired by CASI over corn fields at L’ Acadie experimental farm (Agri...

Understanding the attributes of spur leaves in apple trees is essential to gain more insight into complex process fruit development and quality. However, limited literature available about leaf characteristics 'Amasya' cultivar. In this work, Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) area were investigated flowering non-flowering six common cultivars. Significant differences among cultivars observ...

Radiative transfer models have seldom been applied for studying heterogeneous grassland canopies. Here, the potential of radiative transfer modeling to predict LAI and leaf and canopy chlorophyll contents in a heterogeneous Mediterranean grassland is investigated. The widely used PROSAIL model was inverted with canopy spectral reflectance measurements by means of a look-up table (LUT). Canopy s...

Hydrogen gas (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) are involved in plant growth and developmental processes and may induce plant tolerance to several stresses. However, the independent roles and interaction effect of H2 and CO in adventitious root development under drought conditions have still not received the needed research attention. We hypothesize that there exists crosstalk between H2 and CO duri...

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the early water stress in maize using leaf-level measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence and temperature. In this study, a series of diurnal measurements, such as leaf chlorophyll fluorescence (Fs), leaf spectrum, temperature and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), were conducted for maize during gradient watering and filled watering experime...
