Abstract

A new method is presented for determining the rate of damage to photosynthesis apparatus efficiency ε caused by stress using the red fluorescence spectra of plant leaves. A direct connection was found between the position of the red fluorescence maximum ν max and the photosynthesis apparatus efficiency ε. The method was tested on several examples and good results were obtained.
