Chlorophyll Analysis Using Vegetation Indices
Instruments like the VIS-NIR based CI-710 Miniature Leaf Spectrometer (CID Bio-Science) aid in non-destructive data collection and quantification of chlorophyll. Several vegetation indices can be used to analyze the spectral data collected by the spectrometer during the process. Chlorophyll content estimation assumes importance as it can provide rapid and precise data on the plant physiological parameters… Continue reading…

NIR & Spectroscopy in Agriculture & Crop Science
According to a review by Dr. Crocombe, hand-held spectrometers have historically been used by only small groups of people, such as analytical and drug companies. These days, spectroscopy is available in simple low cost devices for a multitude of applications for scientists and non-scientists alike. One of the most prominent uses of spectroscopy has been… Continue reading…
Leaf Spectroscopy
The Vast Applications for Spectroscopy in Plant Research Spectroscopy is a precise and non-destructive technique that can tell us about several processes going on in plants and trees. After being integrated into small handheld devices, it can provide instant and accurate results in the field, forests, and laboratories. It replaces several conventional methods, which were… Continue reading…
Spectral Data and Thermotolerance in Plants
Thermotolerance can be studied by the variation in photosynthesis in response to environmental factors. Chlorophyll fluorescence has emerged as an important method of determining plant photosynthetic rates, as it is non-destructive, rapid, and accurate. With the help of small portable devices, scientists have been able to find the amazing strategies plants have developed to tolerate… Continue reading…

Food Supply, Climate Change, and Epicuticular Wax
Leaf spectroscopy is used to indirectly get information on several morphological and physiological features of leaves and the plant as a whole. These can help in detecting stress. Though there are several means to measure stress using leaf spectral data, scientists continue looking for species-specific approaches to develop vegetatioin indices that can accurately predict stress… Continue reading…
