Abstract
A method for determining the growth stage of a plant is disclosed. The method comprises illuminating the plant with illumination light. The illumination light causes response light from the plant. The method further comprises detecting the response light from the plant, and, based on the detected response light, determining the growth stage of the plant. In this method, (i) illuminating the plant comprises illuminating with at least partially polarized illumination light, and/or (ii) detecting the response light comprises polarization filtering the response light.
