The physiological qualities ofthe seedlings are important factors for a successful field planting. Much interest in the early assessment of growth stress has been generated recently by the spreading acceptance of the precision agriculture running concept. Ground-based spectral imaging devices offer an important supplement to satellite imagery.

The study aim at evaluating the spectral response of seedling and their observed physiological changes subjected to drought and nutrient stress. Experiments were conducted with two month-old Acacia mangium seedlings grown on a nursery 70th water and fertilization regimes were applied to the seedlings where variables such as chlorophyll content, leaf moist\"e content and their respective spectral response were recorded for a one week period.
