FIELD ANALYSIS OF SPECTRAL AND PHYTOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF CROPS

The sensitivity of the spectral and phytometric parameters of the plant canopy to variety differences and the sowing rate are compared in a two-factor field trial with triticale. Six genotypes and three seeding norms were tested in three repetitions (a total of 54 plots) in different phases of plant development. The response parameters used were the first canonical variable of the spectral brightness coefficient in the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges and similar phytometric statistics of a crop (above-ground dry phytomass, height, density, etc.).
