Abstract

Ten vegetation indices (VIs) were analyzed, which were calculated simultaneously based on Sentine-l2 data and on results of ground spectrometric survey by ASD FieldSpec® 3FR for the identically geographical sites of the production crops of winter wheat of two cultivars Bohdana and Skagen. The values of the most studied VIs on Sentinel-2 satellite data are similar by quantity to the same indices, calculated on the narrow spectral channels of ASD FieldSpec® 3FR, except for DRICI (Double ratio index for chlorophyll index) and СІ green (ratio green chlorophyll index), the satellite values of which are much lower than those received by spectroradiometer. It was shown that the differences of VIs received by Sentinel-2 and ASD FieldSpec® 3FR depend on the growth stages of winter wheat: during vegetation season the correlation coefficients between them increase for crop areas of both studied cultivars.
