1. Utilizing Space-based Technology for Cotton Irrigation SchedulingAccurate soil moisture content measurements are vital to precision irrigation management. Electromagnetic sensors such as capacitance and time domain reflectometry have been widely used for measuring soil moisture content for decades. However, to estimate average soil moisture content over a large area, a number of ground-based in-situ sensors would need to be installed, which would be expensive and labor intensive. Remote sensing using the microwave spectrum (such as GPS signals) has been used... A. Khalilian, X. Qiao, J.O. Payero, J.M. Maja, C.V. Privette, Y.J. Han |
2. Late Season Imagery for Harvest ManagementThe overall objective of this project was to preliminarily assess the use of UAV-based thermal imagery to sense harvest-related factors. Results suggested that thermal imagery can be used to detect areas of high grain moisture content late in the harvest season. Time periods closer to physiological maturity were less likely to show significant differences in thermal imagery data. Additional research is needed to determine if moisture content trends with other measurable quantities... J. Ward, G. Roberson, R. Phillips |
