Results from a remote sensing study of the leave spectral reflectance of pea plants (Pisum sativum L. cultivar Scinado) treated by the photosynthetic herbicides fluridone and acifluorfen are presented. According to the mode of action, fluridone belongs to Fl (photobleaching) group of herbicides, and acifluorfen - to the group E as classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee. The pea plants were grown hydroponically in a growth chamber in a nutritious medium to which the herbicides were added at two low concentrations (1 ¿M, 0.1 ¿M for fluridone, and 25 ¿M, 2.5 ¿M for acifluorfen). The high-resolution spectral data were obtained in the visible and near infrared ranges of the spectrum (450÷850 nm) using a USB2000 fiber optic spectrometer at a spectral resolution (halfwidth) of 1.5 nm. After data analysis, optimal spectral intervals for evaluation of the herbicide action were specified. The changes occurring in the spectral reflectance of the pea plants were assessed in four intervals: 520÷580 nm (region of maximal reflectivity of green vegetation), 640+ 680 nm (region of maximal leave absorption), 690+ 720 nm (red edge region), and 720÷770 nm (near infrared region) using the t-criterion of Student and linear discriminant analysis. Statistically significant differences were found between the spectral reflectance data of leaves of control and treated with herbicides plants at a significance level p< 0.05 for the two fluridone concentrations and for 25 ¿M concentration of acifluorfen.
