The Normalized Difference Red-Edge Index is based on the red-edge band which is very sensitive to medium to high levels of chlorophyll content. Hence, it is a good indicator of crop health in the mid to late stage crops where the chlorophyll concentration is relatively higher. Also, the NDRE could be used to map the within-field variability of foliar nitrogen to understand the fertilizer requirements of the crops. It is computed as follows: NDRE = (pNIR – pREDEDGE) / (pNIR + pREDEDGE)

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.
