“…Electronic analyzers based on gap fraction or transmittance have been widely used to evaluate crops such as corn (Zea mays L.) (Ariza-Carricondo et al, 2019), sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) (Lisboa et al, 2018), acid lime [Citrus latifolia (Yu.Tanaka) Tanaka] (Coelho Filho et al, 2012), and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] (Malone et al, 2002;Pierozan Junior & Kawakami, 2013;Mbangiwa et al, 2019), as well as isolated plants of jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) (Lena et al, 2016) and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus urophylla x grandis) plantations (Giunti Neto et al, 2015). However, in all these studies, the authors reported the need for calibration to improve the quality of the data gathered with those devices, but did not consider canopy height as an auxiliary variable.…”
