Abstract: In the present study, the apple leaf spectral and chlorophyll content of apple leaf were acquired from 2012 to 2013 in Feicheng City, Shandong Province. The correlation between chlorophyll content and the original spectral reflectance or continuum removal spectrum was analyzed to explore the estimation model of apple leaf chlorophyll content. It was shown that the optimal band correlation between apple leaf chlorophyll content and the original spectral reflectance was 553, 711 and 1 301 nm, and the optimal model for apple leaf chlorophyll content was obtained based on 711 nm spectrum, of which the determination coefficient was 0.88. The optimal band correlation between apple leaf chlorophyll content and continuum removal spectrum was 553, 738 and 801 nm, and the optimal model of apple leaf chlorophyll content was obtained based on 738 nm spectrum, of which the determination coefficient was 0.94. According to the sensitive wavelength based on correlation, the apple leaf chlorophyll content prediction model was established based on random forest (RF), of which the determination coefficient was 0.94. The established estimation models for apple leaves chlorophyll content based on random forest, spectral parameters 711 and 738 nm were compared, and it was shown that the optimum model was established by random forest, of which the determination coefficient was 0.54.
