description Rice blast is a highly damaging disease that greatly impacts both the quality and yield of rice. Timely identification and monitoring of this disease are essential for effective agricultural management and for ensuring optimal crop performance. The spectral vegetation index has been widely used in the identification of crop diseases. However, a limitation of these indices is that they cannot identify diseases at different scales. This study aimed to address these issues by developing the rice blast-specific hyperspectral Geometry Ratio Vegetation Index (GRVI<sub>RB</sub>) for monitoring rice blast disease at the leaf and canopy scales. The sensitive bands for identifying rice blast disease were 688 nm, 756 nm, and 1466 nm using the successive projection algorithm. Based on these three sensitive bands and the spectral response mechanism of rice blast, the GRVI<sub>RB</sub> was designed. GRVI<sub>RB</sub> demonstrated high classification accuracy using SVM (support vector machine) and LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis) models in leaf-scale and canopy-scale datasets from 2020 and 2021, surpassing the current vegetation indices of rice blast detection. It is demonstrated that the GRVI<sub>RB</sub> has excellent robustness and universality for rice blast detection from leaf to canopy scales in different years. Additionally, the research suggests that the new hyperspectral vegetation index can serve as a valuable reference for studies conducted at both unmanned aerial vehicle and satellite scales.
