Potential of vegetation indices combined with laser-induced fluorescence parameters for monitoring leaf nitrogen content in paddy rice.

Nitrogen (N) is important for the growth of crops. Leaf nitrogen content (LNC) serves as a crucial indicator of the growth status of crops and can help determine the dose of N fertilizer. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technology and the reflectance spectra of crops are widely used to detect the b...
