Spectral vegetation indices at a the canopy and b leaf levels in five durum wheat varieties (MEX, Mexa; EUR, Euroduro; DRI, Don Ricardo; KNI, Kiko Nick; HAR, Haristide) under rainfed and irrigated conditions. a A GreenSeeker spectroradiometer was used to determine the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) at six growth stages: tillering, stem elongation, flag leaf sheath extension, boot swollen, ear emergence, anthesis, and mid-grain filling (Zadoks 25, 35, 40, 45, 55 and 65, respectively); while b a DUALEX leaf-clip sensor estimated the chlorophyll (Chl), flavonoid, and anthocyanin contents and the N balanced index (NBI) at ear emergence, anthesis and mid-grain filling stages. All values are dimensionless, specific for each device. For each comparison of means, letters are significantly different (ns, not significant; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; two-way ANOVA, TUKEY test)
