1. Hyperspectral Imagery for Prediction of Leaf Chlorophyll Content in Maize Under the Application of Different Urease Inhibitors Using Machine Learning

Urea is the most common and widely used nitrogen (N) source. However, it is highly susceptible to ammonia volatilization losses, especially under favorable climatic conditions. The use of urease inhibitors becomes an important strategy because these compounds slow down the hydrolysis of urea, increasing efficiency in terms of N assimilation, enhancing leaf chlorophyll content, promoting plant growth, and maximizing maize grain yield. In parallel, hyperspectral sensors have emerged as a non-destructive... S.R. Gonçalves Junior, M. Da Costa Salem, G. Eissmann Souza, D. Carvalho De Arruda, E. Bender, B. Nogueira, L.
