 abstract={Two potato cultivars, sprayed and nonsprayed with fungicides, were evaluated to determine the association of late blight (caused by Phytophtora infestans) and radiometric leaf reflectance to disease development. Spectral radiance measurements were taken with Cl MEL CE3132 luminancemeter in the visible (450 nm, 550 nm and 650 nm) and near-infrared (850 nm) range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The measurements were taken at two view zenithal angles.ó.> 0° (at nadir) and o.> 50°. Six vegetative indices based on these measurements were used to detect differences between sprayed and nonsprayed plants. Vegetation indices based on the reflectance measurement enable to distinguish infected potato plants from noninfected plants. Among the vegetation indices used in this studies the best indicators of disease were NlR/RED and ELA!. Results of our study show that for Mila cultivar oblique viewing may be more effective then nadir viewing (perpendicular to the ground surface) for distinguishing between plants infested at different degree.},
