Different units of measurement of carotenoids estimation in cotton using hyperspectral indices and partial least square regression

This paper examines the use of canopy reflectance for different units of measurements of carotenoids estimation. Field spectral measurements were collected over cotton in different intensive field campaigns organized during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011. Three units of measurement were evaluated carotenoids expressed as a mass per unit soil surface area (g/m2), a mass per unit leaf area (μg/cm2), and a mass per unit fresh leaf weight …
