Introduction Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important mineral nutrients for plant growth, yield and crop quality. Precise timing and rate of N fertilizer application play a major role in plant nutrition. Prediction of N requirements is necessary for efficient utilization of nitrogen fertilizers. Improving the efficiency of N fertilizer utilization reduces the… read more »

Introduction Crops monitoring on large-scale farm is a complex and time-consuming exercise, particularly in warm arid conditions where crops can change drastically in 24 hours. Reducing scouting time is of great importance while providing maps for large areas within hours would be the ultimate goal. With multi-spectral sensors, biomass is monitored accurately helping the… read more »

Introduction Remote Sensing is the ability to measure the properties of an object or region without the need of physical contact with the object itself (Lillesand and Keifer, 1994). In most remote sensing applications, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is used to ‘sense’ a certain attribute of the object or area of interest.[1] By combining more than… read more »

Introduction To achieve a more precise, ecological and economical pesticide application process, it is important to focus on crop parameters and field variability instead solely on disease occurrence. In fields with different soil quality, crops and water availability the amount of spray needed varies as well. For example, areas with a reduced cop growth need… read more »
