SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE MONITORING OF WATER STRESS STATUS OF GROWING CROPS

摘要

A method and system for evaluating the water stress status of growing crops in nearly real time employing remote monitoring of entire crop-growing areas rather than sampling or spot checks (10), at sufficiently high resolution to recognize features in the crop-growing area (111), especially to distinguish between crop foliage (18) and non-foliage features (19), and requiring minimal additional measurements of environmental parameters in the crop-growing area (30).
