The DUALEX® SCIENTIFIC sensor measures the content of chlorophyll and the nitrogen status as well as the flavonols and the anthocyanins* of the leaf. This leafclip performs instant and non-destructive mesurements. Its internal GPS is used for the geolocalization of the blocks.
Are measured:
The surface content of chlorophyll (µg/cm²) ;
The index of epidermal flavonols ;
The NBI nitrogen status (Nitrogen Balance Index) ;
The index of epidermal anthocyanins*.
This sensor is used for various applications, especially for ecophysiology:
Physiological studies ;
Genetic studies ;
Phenology studies ;
Plant selection ;
Phenotyping ;
Agronomy.
For any other study that needs knowledge of leaf chlorophyll index:
Nutritional chlorosis ;
Disease-induced chlorosis ;
Potential photosynthesis ;
Leaf senescence.
The flavonol index:
UV protection ;
Leaf light environment ;
Phenolics accumulation.
The anthocyanin index*:
Temperature stress ;
Light environment ;
Leaf senescence ;
Mutant selection.
