START MAKING SENSE: Remote sensing takes off as one of the top new site-specific services - but questions remain about use of data

摘要

REMOTE sensing is one of the most intriguing components of site-specific management because it offers the potential for identifying crop stresses resulting from nutrition, disease, and weed problems. Obvious applications for the technology include useas a postmortem evaluation of springtime activities or as an early warning of what might be expected at harvest. In this way, remote sensing has the potential to help producers, dealerships, and consultants identify and better manage spatial and temporal variability.
