Abstract
Résumé The ground cover ratio of a partial covering early winter wheal crop at the 1 cm stem + spike stage has been evaluated using a three channels CIMEL radiometer which simulated the SPOT satellite observation bands. During short periods guaranteeing constant illumination, the reflectance of experimental plots was linearly correlated to the plants' ground cover ratio within a range of 0 and 57 per cent. This result was used to construct charts to allow the estimation of the ground cover ratio of a given area from reflectance measurements in the red and infrared bands. Résumé. Le taux de couverture d'un sol par une culture partiellement couvrante de blé tendre d'hiver au stade tige+ épi à un centimètre a été évalué a I'aide d'un radiomètre CIMEL à irois canaux simulant les bandes d'observation du satellite SPOT. Pendant de courtes périodes garantissant un éclairement stable, la réflectance de placettes d'observation est liée linéairement au taux de couverture du sol par la végétation dans une gamme comprise entre 0 et 57 pour cent. En application, sont proposés des abaques permettant d'estimer le taux de couverture d'une surface cultivee donnee a partir de mesures de reflectance dans le rouge et dans l'infrarouge.Keywords
