Español; castellano. This study allowed the leaf-scale spectral characterization of African oil palm by conducting field work with a portable spectroradio meter in plantations of the Central and South Pacific of Costa Rica. Spectral signatures of healthy, diseased and nutrient-deficient oil palms were collected. A geodatabase was designed and implemented for geographical, spectral and phytosanitary records. Determination of spectral signatures allows developing spectral libraries of different types of vegetation, soils and water. It also improves the classification of satellite images for thematic cartography and provides the calculation of multiple indices, among others. Healthy vegetation presents low reflectivity in the visible, although there is a peak in the green wavelength due to the presence of chlorophyll. The spectral behavior of diseased vegetation shows a reflectivity curve with a decrease in the infrared and an increase in the red and blue wavelengths. Reflectivity also depends on the water content of the plant.
