Hyperspectral remote sensing captures images in multiple wavelengths and is widely used to detect plant stress in agriculture. A study was conducted on brown planthopper (BPH) infestation in rice at various temperature regimes (15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C and 35°C). The experimentation was done in the Environmental Control Chamber, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India. The field spectroradiometer and vegetation indices were used to study the early and late infestations of BPH in rice. The results reveal that reflectance at certain wavelengths (550, 670 and 700 nm) indicates plant stress. Among the vegetation indices, MCARI performed better than NDVI, PRI, NDRE and SR for the detection of early and late infestation of BPH. Hence, hyperspectral reflectance from rice has been used to detect pest damage and improve management policies.

Abstract


Hyperspectral remote sensing captures images in multiple wavelengths and is widely used to detect plant stress in agriculture. A study was conducted on brown planthopper (BPH) infestation in rice at various temperature regimes (15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C and 35°C). The experimentation was done in the Environmental Control Chamber, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India. The field spectroradiometer and vegetation indices were used to study the early and late infestations of BPH in rice. The results reveal that reflectance at certain wavelengths (550, 670 and 700 nm) indicates plant stress. Among the vegetation indices, MCARI performed better than NDVI, PRI, NDRE and SR for the detection of early and late infestation of BPH. Hence, hyperspectral reflectance from rice has been used to detect pest damage and improve management policies.
