Popis: Chlorophyll, as a key component of crop leaves for photosynthesis, is one significant indicator for evaluating the photosynthetic efficiency and developmental status of crops. Fractional-order differentiation (FOD) enhances the feature spectral information and reduces the background noise. In this study, we analyzed hyperspectral data from grape leaves of different varieties and fertility periods with FOD to monitor the leaves’ chlorophyll content (LCC). Firstly, through sensitive analysis, the fractional-order differential character bands were identified, which was used to construct the typical vegetation index (VI). Then, the grape LCC prediction model was built based on the random forest regression algorithm (RFR). The results showed the following: (1) FOD differential spectra had a higher sensitivity to LCC compared with the original spectra, and the constructed VIs had the best estimation performance at the 1.2th-order differential. (2) The accuracy of the FOD-RFR model was better than that of the conventional integer-order model at different fertility periods, but there were differences in the number of optimal orders. (3) The LCC prediction model for whole fertility periods achieved good prediction at order 1.3, R2 = 0.778, RMSE = 2.1, and NRMSE = 4.7%. As compared to the original reflectance spectra, R2 improved by 0.173; RMSE and NRMSE decreased, respectively, by 0.699 and 1.5%. This indicates that the combination of FOD and RFR based on hyperspectral data has great potential for the efficient monitoring of grape LCC. It can provide technical support for the rapid quantitative estimation of grape LCC and methodological reference for other physiological and biochemical indicators in hyperspectral monitoring.
