1. Potential of UAS Multispectral Imagery for Predicting Yield Determining Physiological Parameters of Cotton

The use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in precision agriculture has increased rapidly due to the availability of reliable, low-cost, and high-resolution sensors as well as advanced image processing software. Lint yield in cotton is the product of three physiological parameters: photosynthetically active radiation intercepted by canopy (IPAR), the efficiency of converting intercepted active radiation to biomass (RUE), and the ratio of economic yield to total dry matter (HI). The relationships... A. Pokhrel, S. Virk, J.L. Snider, G. Vellidis, V. Parkash
