Résumé

Measurement of percent ground cover (PGC) and leaf area index (LAI) are required for crop modelling, yield estimation and for ground truth data in remote sensing studies. An instrument which traverses on a track above a crop and continuously measures the ratio of incident and reflected radiation at various wavelengths was developed and tested. Spectral irradiance and reflectance measurements were made at four wavelengths (647.8, 675.5, 739.9, 790.4 nm) at eight stages of growth of wheat and barley for three crop densities. Data provided information on the relations between spectral properties at selected wavelength and leaf area expansion at different growth stages. The spectral data were highly correlated with leaf area index measurements.
