Vegetation indices derived from reflectance data are related to canopy variables such as aboveground biomass, leaf area index (LAY), and the fraction of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (fIPAR). However, under N stress the relationships between vegetation indices (VI) and these canopy variables might be confounded due to plant chlorosis. We studied the relationships between reflectance-based VI and canopy variables (aboveground biomass, LAP canopy chlorophyll A content [LAI X Chi A], and fIPAR) for a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop growing under different N supplies. Nitrogen fertilization promoted significant increases in radiation interception (plant growth) and, to a lesser extent, in radiation use efficiency (RUE). The VI vs. LAI relationships varied significantly among treatments, rendering the VP-based equations unreliable to estimate LAP under contrasting N conditions. However, a single relationship emerged when LAI X Chi A was considered. Moreover, VP were robust indicators of fIPAR by green canopy components independently of N treatment and phenology. Aboveground biomass was poorly correlated with gain yield, whereas cumulative VP simple radio (SR) was a good predictor of grain yield, probably because cumulative SR closely tracked the duration and intensity of the canopy photosynthetic capacity.
