Field experiments with different nitrogen application amounts using Tianyouhuazhan rice as test sam- ples were set up to study the relationship between rice leaf area index （LAI） and canopy reflectance spectral. The results showed that： the LAI increased with the amount of applied nitrogen; the canopy reflectance spectral showed significant re- sponse characteristics to groups with different nitrogen application levels; the corre- lation coefficient of LAI and canopy spectral reflectance reached the maximum at 720 nm red edge region. The mathematical model was constructed to predict the LAI according to the canopy reflectance spectra of rice.展开更多
