Leaf chlorophyll content is an important variable for agricultural remote sensing because of its close relationship to leaf nitrogen content. The triangular greenness index (TGI) was developed based on the area of a triangle surrounding the spectral features of chlorophyll with points at (670 nm, R670), (550 nm, R550), and (480 nm, R480), where R is the spectral reflectance at wavelengths of 67...

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration could have significant implications on technologies for managing plant nutrition to sustain crop productivity in the future. Soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) (C3 species) and grain sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) (C4 species) were grown in a replicated split-plot design using open-top field chambers under ambient (357 μmol/mol) a...

essential oils from aerial parts of mentha spicata, was obtained by steam destillation using a clevenger-type system. these oils were screened for antibacterial and anti-candida albicans activity using bioautographic method. a fiel experiments was laid out in agricultural research farm, city namin, ardabil province, iran in 2013. experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block with seve...

We conducted two experiments to determine the usefulness of a chlorophyll content meter (CCM) for the measurement of foliar chlorophyll concentration in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) in the fall color period. In Experiment 1, four sugar maple trees were visually assigned to each of four fall foliage color categories in October 1998. On four dates in the fall of 1999, leaves were taken fro...

abstract in order to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer levels on the yield and quality of potato, (solanum tuberosum l.) a field experiment was conducted based on randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications in the research field of the college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad. nitrogen topdress fertilizer was applied in two levels of 100 and 150 kgn.ha-1 and...
