Abstract | UAVs enable fast, high resolution image capture of cotton fields. These images are typically assessed manually to identify areas of stress or reduced productivity. However, these assessments are not currently linked directly with on-farm management decisions. NCEA has developed software that determines yield prediction and irrigation requirements from: (i) UAV images; (ii) automated image analysis that extract cotton growth rates; and (iii) biophysical cotton model. CottonInfo extension officers and agronomists collected imagery in three regions in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 cotton seasons. Yield predictions from the evaluations in the 2016/17 season were within 5% of the final yield. |
