Abstract :The changes in spectral behavior of plants against chemical effects were investigated by using remote sensing and its terrestrial spectral data, in this study. Sugar beet plant was selected as test plants. Study area was splitted into 3 sections for the sugar beet plant and three different phosphorus fertilization were treated to this sections (300 kg P ha-1, 150 kg P ha-1 and 0 kg P ha-1). Terrestrial spectral measurements were carried out on the leaves of the sugar beets, after the development of them. The reflectance values obtained by terrestrial spectral measurement data were used as an end member in order to run spectral classification and Sentinel 2A satellite image was used for spectral classification. Vegetation indices also were produced in order to support the spectral classification results. As a result of the study, remote sensing and its terrestrial components' usability have been shown in order to prevent wrong fertilization, to increase product yield, to protect the health of the plant and soil.Keywords : Spectororadiometer measurements, Spectral classification, Sugar beet
