Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measured damage to leaves of McIntosh, Red Delicious and Golden Delicious apple (Malus sylvestrus Mill.) trees caused by varying population levels of the European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch). The ratio of yellow pigment to green pigment in the leaves increased with increasing mite populations. Results were compared with those obtained by chlorophyll analyses. Transpiration burn injury was found to obscure such relationships, if they exist, on Bartlett pear (Pyrus communis L.) leaves on which mites had been feeding. The results indicate that reflectance spectroscopy will measure damage caused by leaf-feeding mites and is a more rapid and sensitive method of measurement than the analysis of chlorophyll in solution.

Boron-BiVO4 samples were synthesized by sol-gel method. They were characterized by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. Photocatalytic activity of the obtained BiVO4 samples was investigated through degrading methylene blue (MB). The results reveal that boron-BiVO4 catalysts have monoclinic scheelite structure. The BiVO4 and Co-BiVO4 photocatalysts were responsive to visible light. Co-BiVO4 photocatalyst showed higher photocatalytic activity than pure BiVO4, resulting in the significantly improved efficiency of degradation of MB.
