The ability of the SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter to quantify chlorophyll amounts in ozone-affected leaves of cutleaf coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata var. digitata) was assessed in this study. When relatively uninjured leaves were measured (percent leaf area affected by stipple less than 6%), SPAD meter readings were linearly related to total chlorophyll with an adjusted R (2) of 0.84. However, when leaves with foliar injury (characterized as a purple to brownish stipple on the upper leaf surface affecting more than 6% of the leaf area) were added, likelihood ratio tests showed that it was no longer possible to use the same equation to obtain chlorophyll estimations for both classes of leaves. Either an equation with a common slope or a common intercept was necessary. We suspect several factors are involved in altering the calibration of the SPAD meter for measuring chlorophyll amounts in visibly ozone-injured leaves, with the most likely being changes in either light absorption or scattering resulting from tissue necrosis.

How to combine soil and plant indicators to manage nitrogen fertilisation in vineyards?

LEPSE, Univ Montpellier, INRAE, Institut Agro, Montpellier, France.
Context: Although grapevine nitrogen (N) needs are moderate, N fertilisation in vineyards requires carefully management because berry development, aromatic composition and hence winemaking are largely influenced by N nutrition. Our objective was to develop a method for reasoned N fertilisation between and during the seasons.
Methods: Specific sensitivities of soil and plant indicators to N supply and availability were estimated and indicator robustness was quantified using contrasted environmental conditions, crop management and N fertilisation in an experimental network comprising five vineyards in southern France over four successive years.

Plant health and nutrition are universally inferred from leaf chlorophyll content. This research developed a 3D-printed accessory which attaches to the ambient light sensor in a smartphone to estimate leaf chlorophyll content in five tropical plant species. It unveils 3D printing files and assembling details to freely built the accessory anywhere.

The increasing carbon dioxide (CO) levels in the air pose a direct threat to all living organisms and the environment. Leveraging the ability of plants to absorb CO is one of the most effective methods for countering these rising CO levels. The present study aimes to develop a combo photosynthetic and chlorophyll-a sensor based on Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy and an optical method.

The technique of detecting and tracking an area's physical properties from a distance by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation is known as remote sensing. It gathered data accurately in near real-time. For this purpose, multispectral cameras mounted on UAVs that capture images with different bands can be used to generate vegetation indexes (NDVI, NDRE), which are useful in precision agriculture.

Addressing cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural lands is crucial, given its health implications and accumulation in crops. This study used pot experiments to evaluate the impact of foliar selenium spray (Se) (0.40 mM), corn straw biochar (1%), and pig manure (1%) on the growth of rice plants, the accumulation of Cd in rice grain, and to examine their influence on health risk indices associated with Cd exposure.
