Red leaf blotch is one of the major fungal foliar diseases affecting almond orchards. High-resolution thermal and hyperspectral airborne imagery was acquired from two flights compared with concurrent field visual evaluations for disease incidence severity. Canopy temperature vegetation indices were calculated analyzed their ability to detect at early stages. The classification methods linear discriminant analysis support vector machine, using radial basis kernels, applied a combination these...
Background and Aims Mapping the spatial variability of vine water status within a vineyard is necessary for efficient management irrigation water. The objective this study was to determine whether estimates remotely sensed leaf potential (Ψrem) could be employed as precise tool scheduling at sector level throughout season. Methods Results Three treatments were applied in 16-ha commercial analyse performance proposed methodology monitoring regulated deficit strategies, evaluate required...
In the current scenario of worldwide limited water supplies, conserving is a major concern in agricultural areas. Characterizing within-orchard spatial heterogeneity requirements would assist improving irrigation use efficiency and conserve water. The crop stress index (CWSI) has been successfully used as status indicator several fruit tree species. this study, CWSI was developed three Prunus persica L. cultivars at different phenological stages 2012 to 2014 growing seasons, using canopy...
There is a growing need for developing high-throughput tools crop phenotyping that would increase the rate of genetic improvement. In most cases, indicators used this purpose are related with canopy structure (often acquired RGB cameras and multispectral sensors allowing calculation NDVI), but using approaches physiology rare. High-resolution hyperspectral remote sensing imagery provides optical indices to physiological condition through quantification photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll...
We provide a comprehensive review of the empirical and modelling approaches used to quantify radiation–vegetation interactions related vegetation temperature, leaf optical properties linked pigment absorption chlorophyll fluorescence emission, their capability monitor health. Part 1 provides an overview main physiological indicators (PIs) applied in remote sensing detect alterations plant functioning diseases decline processes. 2 reviews recent advances development quantitative methods...
The experiments were conducted in a fully-productive olive orchard (cv. Frantoio) at the experimental farm of University Pisa Venturina (Italy) 2015 to assess ability an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with RGB-NIR cameras estimate leaf area index (LAI), tree height, canopy diameter and volume trees that either irrigated or rainfed. Irrigated received water 4–5 days week (1348 m3 ha-1), whereas rainfed ones single irrigation 19 ha-1 relieve extreme stress. flight altitude was 70 m...
Abstract Plant pathogens pose increasing threats to global food security, causing yield losses that exceed 30% in food-deficit regions. Xylella fastidiosa ( Xf ) represents the major transboundary plant pest and one of world’s most damaging terms socioeconomic impact. Spectral screening methods are critical detect non-visual symptoms early infection prevent spread. However, subtle pathogen-induced physiological alterations spectrally detectable entangled with dynamics abiotic stresses. Here,...
