Abstract

Wheat rust is one of the important diseases of cereal crops in Iran and other countries in the world which imposes irreparable damages to the agricultural economy. In this study, the effects of the leaf and yellow rust disease on wheat leaves reflectance were studied. For this purpose, various vegetation indices derived from leaf spectra were measured. To do this, diseases ratio and varying degrees of disease were extracted by using digital camera and multi-step algorithm including color Transformation, mask preparation, texture and maximum likelihood classification. Results show variation in the values of the parameters with changing in proportion of disease whereas the data scattering of indexes Increase quickly. The highest correlation was for the NDVI (0.9) and the minimum was for the red slope (0.2). With the similarity criteria, range and inter-class scattering relations of spectra and disease were studied and with Increasing of the disease ratio. These criteria are altered by developing of disease ratio .Further investigation showed, spectrum mixing in different fraction of yellow, orange, brown and dead is a cause for data scattering with disease development.
