1. Assessment of Red-Edge Based Vegetation Indices Derived from Unmanned Arial Vehicle for Plant Nitrogen Content EstimationUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly popular in recent years for agricultural research. High spatial and temporal resolution images obtained with UAVs are ideal for many applications in agriculture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of red edge based vegetation indices (VIs) derived from UAV images for quantification of plant nitrogen (N) content of spring wheat, a major cereal crop worldwide. This study was conducted at three locations in Idaho, United... O.S. Walsh, S. Shafian |
2. Salinity Stress Assessment on Vegetation Cover in Arid Regions Using Visible Range Indices of True Color Aerial UAV/Drone ImagesDate palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of the most important plant growing in arid and semi-arid regions, where it has a social, cultural, economic and nutritious importance. Although date palm can be ranked as the highest salt tolerance plant among fruit crop, extreme salinity can negatively affect its growth, yield and fruit quality. Inadequate annual rainfall of arid regions has stressed and rapidly decreased date palm plantation due to salinity and drought. In this study unmanned aerial... Y.A. Al-mulla, S. Al-rahbi |
3. Precision Nitrogen and Water Management for Optimized Sugar Beet Yield and Sugar ContentSugar beet (SB) production profitability is based on maximizing three parameters: beet yield, sucrose content, and sucrose recovery efficiency. Efficient nitrogen (N) and water management are key for successful SB production. Nitrogen deficits in the soil can reduce root and sugar yield. Overapplication of N can reduce sucrose content and increase nitrate impurities which lowers sucrose recovery. Application of N in excess of SB crop need leads to vigorous canopy growth, while compromising root... O.S. Walsh, S. Shafian |
