Canopy reflectance in two castor bean varieties (Ricinus communis L.) for growth assessment and yield prediction on coastal saline land of Yancheng District, China
چکیده انگلیسی

A field experiment was conducted in 2007-2009 in coastal saline regions of Yancheng city in Jiangsu province of China (120°13′E, 33°38′N). The experiment was to investigate relationships among canopy spectral reflectance, canopy chlorophyll density (CCD), leaf area index (LAI), and yield of two Chinese castor varieties (Zi Bi var. and Yun Bi var.) across four N fertilizer rates of 0, 90, 180, and 360 kg N ha−1. These N rates were used to generate a wide range of difference in canopy structure and seed yield. Measurements of canopy reflectance were made throughout the growing season using a hand-held spectroradiometer. Samples for CCD and LAI were obtained on days that reflectance measurements were made. Fifteen hyperspectral reflectance indices were calculated. Canopy spectral characteristics were heavily influenced by saline soil background in the rapid growing period (RGP), thus hyperspectral data obtained in this period were not suited for reflecting castor growth condition or predicting final yield. CCD increased linearly with most reflectance indices in the full coverage period (FCP) and senescent period (SP) for the two castor varieties, whereas LAI did not. Most of reflectance indices were significantly correlated with yield of two varieties in different growing periods. The OSAVI model provided the best yield prediction for Zi Bi var. with predicted values very close to observed ones (R2 = 0.799), and the mSRVI705 model was well used for Yun Bi var. yield estimation (R2 = 0.759). These results indicate that the hyperspectral data measured at appropriate time could be well used for castor yield estimation.

Research highlights▶ Nowadays new castor plantation has emerged on coastal saline land (e.g. China) to meet castor oil demand, at the same time avoiding competition for food production. However, these areas are characterized by moderate or high salinity and deficiency of nutrients, which inhibit castor growth and photosynthetic productivity. Therefore, temporally identification on castor productivity and yield prediction are imperative and necessary for maximum yields. This research explores the characterization on hyperspectral reflectance, and biochemical and biophysical measurements for Chinese castor varieties Zi Bi var. and Yun Bi var. plant on coastal saline land. With establishing primary castor lint yield prediction models on coastal saline land, proper field management decisions could be carried out for researchers and farmers.
