New UAV-based method enhances wheat uniformity monitoring and yield prediction

A research team has developed an innovative method to quantify wheat uniformity using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imaging technology. This method estimates leaf area index (LAI), SPAD, fractional vegetation cover, and plant height, calculating 20 uniformity indices throughout the growing season. A research team has developed an innovative method to quantify wheat uniformity using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imaging technology.
