Crop stress and yield
Crop stress and yield monitoring identifies water, heat, nutrient, disease, and productivity stress through canopy temperature, evapotranspiration, greenness anomalies, chlorophyll fluorescence, and soil moisture proxies.[1][2]
Thermal infrared land-surface temperature and evapotranspiration products support plant water-stress detection because water-limited vegetation warms relative to unstressed vegetation.[1][3]
ECOSTRESS and OpenET-style evapotranspiration information support farm-level water-use and crop monitoring.[2]
Water stress, heat stress, nutrient deficiency, disease, and yield potential require different sensor combinations and validation data.[1][2]
