Stress detection with remote sensing

• Thermal data for water stress

• Optical data

– NDVI

• GreenSeeker & GreenSat, use of a well fertilized reference strip

– Red-edge based indices for chlorophyll status

– Fluorescence for rate of photosynthesis, RUE

– Photochemical reflectance index (PRI) for rate of

photosynthesis, RUE

Average leaf area by V-Stage for 3 sites

Leaf area index vs V-Stage of each sampling

area at Patuakhali in 2015

PRI changes with NDVI (amount of

vegetation)

Examples of PRI/NDVI vs Leaf Area

(individual leaf)

Barisal, March 12 Leaf Area [cm2] = 172.85249 + 10.113794*PRI/NDVI R2 = 0.54

Kalapara, Feb 28 Leaf Area [cm2] = 148.73649 + 6.9412593*PRI/NDVI R2 = 0.48

Examples of PRI/NDVI vs Leaf Area

(individual leaf)

Kalapara, March 13 Leaf Area [cm2] = 329.79811 + 6.8204081*PRI/NDVI R2 = 0.36

Patuakhali, March 14 Leaf Area [cm2] = 210.53355 + 1.9893104*PRI/NDVI R2 = 0.14
