The Spectrum FieldScout CM 1000 NDVI Chlorophyll Meter offers advanced spectral analysis using “point-and-shoot” technology to measure red (660 nm) and near-infrared (840 nm) light reflectance from plant canopies. This handheld meter computes the Normalized Difference Vegetative Index (NDVI), providing early insights into plant stress levels that are not yet visually detectable. With GPS connectivity, data logging, and included FieldScout software, it supports precision agriculture practices and detailed mapping for improved crop management.
