摘要: Paddy rice is one of the most important crops in China, and leaf nitrogen content (LNC) serves as a significant indictor for monitoring crop status. A reliable method is needed for precise and fast quantification of LNC. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technology and reflectance spectra of crops are widely used to monitor leaf biochemical content. However, comparison between the fluorescence and reflectance spectra has been rarely investigated in the monitoring of LNC. In this study, the performance of the fluorescence and reflectance spectra for LNC estimation was discussed based on principal component analysis (PCA) and back-propagation neural network (BPNN). The combination of fluorescence and reflectance spectra was also proposed to monitor paddy rice LNC. The fluorescence and reflectance spectra exhibited a high degree of multi-collinearity. About 95.38%, and 97.76% of the total variance included in the spectra were efficiently extracted by using the first three PCs in PCA. The BPNN was implemented for LNC prediction based on new variables calculated using PCA. The experimental results demonstrated that the fluorescence spectra (R-2 = 0.810, 0.804 for 2014 and 2015, respectively) are superior to the reflectance spectra (R-2 = 0.721, 0.671 for 2014 and 2015, respectively) for estimating LNC based on the PCA-BPNN model. The proposed combination of fluorescence and reflectance spectra can greatly improve the accuracy of LNC estimation (R-2 = 0.912, 0.890 for 2014 and 2015, respectively).
