The advantage of using sUAS technology is the ability to acquire a high-resolution orthophoto and a 3D Model which is highly suitable for plant height monitoring. Plant height estimation has a big impact in the growth and development of wheat because it is essential for obtaining biomass, which is a factor for higher crop yield. Plant height is an indicator of high yield estimation and it correlates to biomass, nitrogen content, and other plant growth parameters. The study is aimed to determine an accurate height of wheat using the sUAS generated Digital Surface Model (DSM). A high-resolution imagery between 1.0 - 1.2 cm/pixel was obtained from a 35 m altitude with area coverage of 1.01 hectares. The DSM and orthophoto were generated from the sUAS, and the computed wheat heights were derived from the difference of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and DSM data. Field measurement using steel tape was done for ground truth. The sUAS-based wheat height data were evaluated using the ground truth of 66 wheat-rows by applying correlation and linear regression analysis. Datasets were collected from three different flight campaigns (March 2018-May 2018). The sUAS-based wheat height data were significantly correlated, obtaining the result of R2 = 0.988, R2 = 0.996 and R2 = 0.944 for the month of March, April and May 2018 respectively. The significance of linear regression results was also validated by computing for the p-value. The p-value results were 0.00064, 0.0000824 and 0.0058 respectively. The main concern is the lodging of winter wheat, especially during the month of April which affects the recording of the plant’s height. Because some of the wheat plants are now lying on the ground, so measurements are done vertically. Nonetheless, the results showed that sUAS technology is highly suitable for many agricultural applications.展开更多

The application of UAS to guar phenotyping remains limited. Guar is multi-purpose legume species. India and Pakistan are the world’s top guar producers. The U.S. is the world guar largest market with an import value of >$1 billion annually. The objective of this study was to test the feasibility of UAS phenotyping of plant height and canopy width in guar. The UAS data were collected from a field plot of 10 guar accessions on July 7, 2021, and September 27, 2021. The study was organized in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 blocks. A total of 23 Vegetation Indices (VIs) were computed. The analysis of variance showed significant genotypic effects on plant weight (p < 0.05) and canopy width (p on plant height (p most VIs were significant for both flights (p Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Red Edge Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDRE) were significantly and highly correlated with plant height (r = 0.74) and canopy width (r = 0.68). The results will be of interest in developing high throughput phenotyping approach for guar breeding.展开更多
油菜免耕飞播模式对挖掘长江流域冬闲田生产潜力并实现轻简化生产具有重要意义,明确适宜稻茬留桩高度是优化该模式核心参数的关键。本研究于湖北省武穴市和黄陂区连续进行两年田间试验,2020-2021年设置0、20、40、60 cm 4个留桩高度处理...油菜免耕飞播模式对挖掘长江流域冬闲田生产潜力并实现轻简化生产具有重要意义,明确适宜稻茬留桩高度是优化该模式核心参数的关键。本研究于湖北省武穴市和黄陂区连续进行两年田间试验,2020-2021年设置0、20、40、60 cm 4个留桩高度处理,2021-2022年根据前一年试验结果设置0、10、20、30、40、50、60 cm 7个留桩高度处理,系统分析留桩高度对油菜关键生育期农艺性状指标、油菜籽产量及其构成因子的影响。结果表明,留桩高度显著调控油菜籽产量,本试验条件下最佳留桩高度为20~40 cm,油菜籽产量较0~10 cm和50~60 cm处理分别平均提高25.5%和26.6%。油菜籽产量差异源于群体密度和单株角果数的协同作用:留桩低于20 cm时,由于出苗数量下降导致成熟期密度降低23.8%,单位面积角果数降低10.4%;留桩高于40 cm时,冬前成苗率和冬后存活率均显著降低,成熟期密度降低17.6%,单株角果数随留桩升高递减,最终单位面积角果数降低28.8%。综上,免耕飞播油菜适宜的稻茬留桩高度控制在40 cm以内,可结合区域水稻生物量动态调整,实现稳产轻简目标。展开更多
