Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect In the near-infrared range, reflectance of infected lettuce leaves was lower than that of the control.
- Intervention effect All three investigated fungal pathogens had a statistically significant effect on lettuce leaf water content and water band index.
- Observation Among the vegetation indices, WBI demonstrated the greatest reliability.
