Abstract

To investigate the changes in the spectral reflectance factor related to row direction, sun direction, soil background, and crop development stage, Purdue/LARS collected 2yr of data of row crop canopies of soybeans grown in planter boxes and placed on a turntable. The results demonstrate that the direction of rows in a soybean canopy can affect the reflectance factor of the canopy by as much as 230%. The results for the red spectral region tend to support the validity of canopy reflectance models; results for the infrared spectral region do not. -Authors
