Description Several canopy measuring instruments like Convex Spherical Densiometer, Angular Densiometer, Canopy-scope, Moosehorn, etc., are used to estimate the canopy cover of trees. Most of these instruments do not directly display the readings of the canopy cover and also require some computational and technical skills to operate. These limitations restrict the use of such instruments by the orchardists in India. To overcome these bottlenecks, few software developers have developed mobile apps like Canopea, Canopy Cover, Canopy Capture, etc. for android platform which instantly process the image and display the reading of canopy cover in percentage. By using such apps, canopy of mango trees can be pruned to optimum for healthy tree and quality fruit production.
