Abstract

In this article there has been given the analyzing of non-fiction sources in order to find out the popular indexes of the vegetable control parameters. There are such parameters as chlorophyll presence, water containing, the efficiency of a light use, nitrogen and carbon presence, foliage pigmentation.  The chlorophyll presence control is conducted by such indexes as the difference vegetation index, the global environmental monitoring index, the infrared percentage vegetation index, the modified simple ratio, the modified Soil adjusted vegetation index 2, the non-linear index, the normalized difference vegetation index, the optimized soil adjusted vegetation index, the renormalized difference vegetation index, the soil adjusted vegetation index, the simple ratio etc. The control of water content can be based on the moisture stress index, the normalized difference infrared index, the normalized difference water index, the normalized multi-band drought index, the water band index. There is the photochemical reflectance index, the structure insensitive pigment index, the red green ratio index for the efficiency control of the light use. The nitrogen presence is controlled by the normalized differential nitrogen index. The carbon presence can be detected by the implementing of cellulose absorption index, the lignin cellulose absorption index, the normalized difference lignin index, the plant senescence reflectance index. The foliage pigmentations can be controlled by the means of the anthocyanin reflectance index 1, the anthocyanin reflectance index 2, the carotenoid reflectance index 1, and the carotenoid reflectance index 2. The specificity of the presented indexes is described; the calculation formulas and its main straits are proposed.
