1. NDVI 'Depression' In Pastures Following GrazingPasture biomass estimation from normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) using ground, air or space borne sensors is becoming more widely used in precision agriculture. Proximal active optical sensors (AOS) have the potential to eliminate the confounding effects of path radiance and target illumination conditions typically encountered using passive sensors. Any algorithm that infers the green fraction of pasture from NDVI must factor in plant morphology and live/dead plant ratio, irrespective... J.S. Stanley, D.W. Lamb, M.G. Trotter, M.M. Rahman |
2. Development And Evaluation Of A Leaf Monitoring System For Continuous Measurement Of Plant Water Status In Almond And Walnut CropsAbstract: Leaf temperature measurements using handheld infrared thermometers have been used to predict plant water stress by calculating crop water stress index (CWSI). However, for CWSI calculations it is recommended to measure canopy temperature of trees under saturated, stressed and current conditions simultaneously, which is not very practical while using handheld units. An inexpensive, easy to use sensing system was developed to predict plant water status for tree crops by measuring... F. Rojo, J. Roach, R. Coates, S. Upadhyaya, M. Delwiche, C. Han, R. Dhillon |
3. Modeling Canopy Light Interception For Estimating Yield In Almond And Walnut TreesA knowledge of spatio-temporal variability in potential yield is essential for site-specific nutrient management in crop production. The objectives of this project were to develop a model for photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) intercepted by almond and walnut trees based on data obtained from respective tree(s) and estimate potential crop yield in individual trees or in blocks of five trees. This project uses proximally sensed PAR interception data measured using a lightbar... R. Dhillon, S. Upadhyaya, J. Roach, K. Crawford, B. lampinen, S. Metcalf, F. Rojo |
