This research presents the parameterization for the spectral submodel of JONG model, an agrometeorologic-spectral model to forecast the available forage of natural pastures of Campos Sulinos biome. Tthe capacity of different spectral variables, gotten from images of the sensor ETM+/Landsat 7, to represent the forage availability in different phases of its fenologic cycle was realized. The Wetness variable and reflectance of the band ETM+7/Landsat 7 represent the initial status of vegetation of efficient form was verified, however had no sensitivity enough to eliminate the effect of soil type in the spectral response of the vegetation.
