1. Estimation of Agronomic Parameters in Maize Using UAV-based Vegetation Indices Obtained by a Multispectral Sensor

Precision agriculture emerges as a response to optimize input use and to monitor crop spatial variability over time. In this context, the use of vegetation indices obtained by optical sensors embedded in drones or satellites has become a useful tool for predicting agronomic parameters in maize fields, such as aboveground dry biomass, leaf chlorophyll content, and grain yield. Thus, the objective of this study was to correlate field agronomic parameters with vegetation indexes obtained by a multispectral... B. Nogueira, A.C. Figueiró, A. , E. Bender, C.D. Lima, A.L.
