Six chlorophyll meters (SPAD) were compared to determine the magnitude of differences in SPAD readings on rice leaves. Correlations among the six SPAD meters were statistically significant (P<0.01) with correlation coefficients (r) ranging from 0.971 to 0.990. However, the differences in SPAD readings were statistically significant among the six meters (P<0.05) and the difference between two meters was as large as 2.7 units. Such magnitudes of discrepancy should be considered when different SPAD meters are used in the same study.
