Spectral Vegetation Indices as Nondestructive Tools for Determining Durum Wheat Yield

Remote sensing measurements may be a useful tool for quantifying crop development and yield. Our objective was to study the potential of using spectral reflectance indices to provide accurate and nondestructive estimates of physiological traits determining yield in durum wheat [ Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) Husn.]. Twenty‐five genotypes were grown under rainfed and irrigated conditions in northeastern Spain. Reflectance from the...
