Chlorophyll meters are widely used to guide nitrogen (N) management by monitoring leaf N status in agricultural systems, but the effects of environmental factors and leaf characteristics on leaf N estimations are still unclear. In the present study, we estimated the relationships among SPAD readings, chlorophyll content and leaf N content per leaf area for seven species grown in multiple enviro...

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and validate an image analysis method for quantitative analysis of barakol content in Senna siamea leaf extract. Methods: TLC-densitometric and TLC-image analysis methods were developed, validated, and used for quantitative analysis of Senna siamea leaf extract. The results obtained by these two different quantification methods were compared by pa...

Spatial and temporal variations in canopy structure and leaf biochemistry have considerable influence on fluxes of CO2, water and energy and nutrient cycling in vegetation. Two vegetation indices (VI), NDVI and Macc01, were used to model the spatio-temporal variability of broadleaf chlorophyll content and leaf area index (LAI) across a growing season. Ground data including LAI, hyperspectral le...

The leaf chlorophyll content is one of the most important factors for the growth of winter wheat. Visual and near-infrared sensors are a quick and non-destructive testing technology for the estimation of crop leaf chlorophyll content. In this paper, a new approach is developed for leaf chlorophyll content estimation of winter wheat based on visible and near-infrared sensors. First, the sliding ...

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 ...

abstract many uses of landscape and important roll of ground covers aspect turfgrasses caused extensive of this plant in the cities. this study focuses on shoot responses and tolerance of native and commercial turf grasses under drought stress in a factorial experiment based on unbalanced completely random design on the year 2006. the specious that we used in this experiment included (i) commer...

The ch4 mutant of sweetclover (Melilotus alba) has previously been demonstrated to be temperature- and photoperiod-sensitive for the accumulation of chlorophyll. Pigment content of ch4 mutant leaves was examined as a function of trifoliolate mass, an index of leaf development. Inhibition of chlorophyll accumulation caused by increased growth temperature or decreased photoperiod can be attenuate...

according to the drought as the most important environmental factor that limiting agricultural products and using nitrogen as the most consumed nutrition element in farming system, in this study investigates examined the effect of nitrogen on drought tolerance characteristics, including changes in total chlorophyll content, total protein content, leaf area, phosphorus and peroxidase enzyme acti...
