1. Use Of Active Radiometers To Estimate Biomass, Leaf Area Index, And Plant Height In Cotton

Active radiometers have been tested extensively as tools to assess in-season nitrogen (N) status of crops like wheat (Triticum aestivum), corn (Zea mays), and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum).  Fewer studies target in-season plant growth parameters such as biomass, plant height or leaf area index (LAI).  Uses of this plant data include simulation modeling, total N uptake measurements, evapotranspiration (ET) estimates and irrigation...
