1. Spatiotemporal Variability of Apple Tree Vegetative Vigor Using Proximal Sensing

The largest apple production in Brazil is located in the southern region of the country, which has a subtropical climate, borderline conditions for the production of a fruit native to temperate climates. Thus, excessive vegetative growth frequently occurs, negatively impacting productivity and quality in the orchard. This leads to the diversion of productive resources to ancillary activities, such as the application of growth regulators and green pruning, negatively affecting the producer. Currently,... L.
