Abstract

Mongo seeds were planted in an agar based medium with different nitrogen concentrations. Transmittance spectra of the leaves was obtained and studied. Examination of the transmittance spectra of the samples revealed that nitrogen has an influence on the chlorophyll content of a leaf. The presence of a nitrogen threshold for plants was also detected on the examination of the transmittance at 561 nm, which is approximately the chlorophyll peak.
