Abstract
Understanding the spectral features of Washington navel trees is important to remotely measure and monitor the canopy properties and biochemical changes in plantations. Satellite and ground based passive remote sensing techniques have been widely used in many plant species. However, the use of these techniques in orange trees is limited. In this study, relationships between total chlorophyll (Chl) contents and canopy reflectances (RF) were used to determine the most suitable growth and development stage that could be used to measure and monitor the canopy properties and biochemical changes by remote sensing technologies in Washington navel orange trees (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck). Plant materials consisted of four different age groups of 15
