Based on different fertilization patterns, the canopy spectral reflectance, the first derivative spectra and normalized spectral characteristics of late rice, and a correlation among leaf nitrogen content, nitrogen accumulation, yield, leaf area index and leaf dry matter accumulation were analyzed. Then the rice nitrogen nutrition diagnosis model with high spectral characteristic parameters as in-dependent variables was constructed. The results showed that: there has a great relevance between leaf nitrogen content with canopy spectral reflectan...
