The color of plants depends to a great extent on the conditions of nutrition. Approximately fifty years ago VILLE (7) attempted to determine the proper provision of plants with elements of nutrition by their color from the amount of chlorophyll produced. The pale color of plants may depend on various causes. In some cases it is called forth by an actual reduction of the amount of chlorophyll ow...

ABSTRACT Leaf color is used as a guide for assessments of nutrient status and plant’s health. So that a new method is proposed for the detection of Chlorophyll content based on the leaf color. Based on green color present in leaf we can estimate the chlorophyll content in leaf. The proposed equation produced superior results with the true value of chlorophyll content measured in the laboratory ...

Chlorella vulgaris was tested to assess their toxicities in freshwater contaminated by the metal compounds of copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd), both singly and combined. Exposure to 0.5 and 1.5 M Cu or 1.0 and 2.0 M Cd alone significantly decreased algal growth and chlorophyll content and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) content. Two-way ANOVA analysis shows that the combination of these two...

the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on growth and physiological characteristics of seedlings corylus avellana were determined in a forest nursery. for this purpose, in a completely randomized design (crd) and four replicates, three putative bacteria, including pseudomonas putida, bacillus subtilis and enterobacter cloacae, as alone and mixed, were examined. the greatest h...

This study was conducted to investigate variations of leaf chlorophyll content and surface spectral reflectance of different tree species (Daphniphyllum glaucescens、Michelia formosana、Illicium dunnianum and Machilus kusanoi) across contrasting terrain in the Nanjenshan Reserve of Kenting National Park, Southern Taiwan. The results showed that there were significant differences (P < 0.01) among ...

studying the physiological responses of linseed genotypes to water deficit stress may be helpful in recognizing the linseed resistance mechanisms to the latter stress factors. therefore, a split plot rcbd field experiment was conducted with three replications to explain interrelations of leaf chlorophyll, proline and soluble carbohydrates content and grain yield of six linseed genotypes under t...

Vegetation monitoring is one of the essential applications of remote sensing. Regarding agricultural lands, a primary goal is crop state assessment throughout the growing season. Remote sensing techniques make use of multispectral data to estimate plant biophysical and biochemical characteristics by implementing quantitative relationships between crop growth variables and spectral properties. C...

to comparison the photosynthetic parameters and leaf chlorophyll content and fluorescence of safflower (carthamus tinctorios l.) cultivars under salinity stress, a pot experiment was carried out as factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in summer 2011 in university of yasouj. first factor included four salinity levels (zero, 75, 150 and 225 mm (formed as 20 to 1...
