An evaluation index With this index, you can find out how much foliage there is in the field. You
Vegetation power can also find out which part of the field is the active photosynthesising area.
(LAI) For example, in the cultivation of fodder crops, with the help of this index,
you can compare the different cultivars of the crop you are cultivating. You
can also choose the cultivar with the largest leaf area to continue cultivation.
This index, like NDVI, measures plant density, but
eliminates soil from the calculations. In the early
Modified soil vegetation index stages of plant growth, when the soil level is higher
(MSAVI) than the plant level, it is recommended to use this
index instead of NDVI. This is because this index is
more accurate under these conditions .
