Abstract

The study with the application of diffuse reflectance imaging of leaves helps to clarify the role and activity of photosynthetic antennae and to evaluate the activity of the photosynthetic apparatus. The measurements were carried out with three types of leaves (sun, partial shade and shade) for Santa Maria (pear) variety in two areas under and above water. The reflectance values in the 400-800nm wavelength provide the opportunity to determine the parameters that evaluate the activity of the photosynthetic apparatus of fruit trees in two different areas.
