1. Leaf-proximal Hyperspectral Data and Multivariate Modelling Approaches to Estimate Phosphorus and Potassium Content of Wheat LeavesThe assessment of plant nutrient status to provide sufficient fertilization for rapid and continuous uptake by plants has been based on visual diagnosis in the field, which is quick but demands a lot of experience and has low operability. Visible near-infrared spectroscopy (VNIS) has shown to be a quick, non-destructive, accurate, and cost-effective analytical method in precision agriculture. In this study, we assessed the potential of this technology to predict phosphorus and potassium content... Y. El-mejjaouy, B. Dumont, P. Vermeulen, A. Oukarroum, B. Mercatoris |
2. The Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remotely Sensed Data and Biophysical Variables to Predict Maize Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) in Small-Scale Farming SystemsConsidering the current and projected increase in human population, approaches to optimize crop productivity to meet the rising demand are paramount. Timely and accurate maize Above Ground Biomass (AGB) measurements allow for development of models that can precisely predict yield prior to harvesting, useful for food production management and sustenance. The development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as a new generation of robust remote sensing platforms, mounted with high-resolution sensors... C. Dlamini, J. Odindi, O. Mutanga, T. Matongera |
3. Enhancing the Estimation of Equivalent Water Thickness in Neglected and Underutilized Taro Crops Using UAV Acquired Multispectral Thermal Image Data and Index-Based Image SegmentationDue to the impact of climate variability and change, smallholder farmers are increasingly faced with the challenge of sustaining crop production. Taro, recognized as a future smart neglected and underutilized crop due to its resilience to abiotic stresses, has emerged as valuable for diversifying crop farming systems and sustaining local livelihoods. Nonetheless, a significant research gap exists in spatially explicit information on the water status of taro, contributing to the paradox of its... S. Ndlovu, J. Odindi, M. Sibanda, O. Mutanga |
