The Modified Chlorophyll Absorption in Reflectance Index is a measure of the depth of chlorophyll absorption. This trait is very sensitive to variations in chlorophyll concentration as well as fluctuations in LAI. MCARI takes the reflectance dataset as an input and is computed as follows: MCARI = ((ρ850-ρ710) – 0.2 × (ρ850-ρ570)) / ρ710

Plant Lodging
This trait indicates the probability that a plot has been affected by lodging. Lodging is the phenomenon by which the plant bends over the stems near ground level, which can have a dramatic impact on the yield. This trait is computed based on the plant height results through time.
