Abstract

The application of multi- and hyperspectral remote sensing techniques in the assessment of stress factors in maize crops Field-spectroscopy and satellite multi- and hyperspectral data is used to assess, map and quantify selected biophysical variables in maize crops. Field spectra will be collected from maize plants and selected weed-species to distinguish between crops and weeds based on spectral response. The research aims to stimulate precision agricultural activities in the South African maize industry.

  • Hierdie studie maak van veldspektroskopie asook van multi- en hiperspektrale ruimtelike data gebruik om drie biofisiese veranderlikes te identifiseer en te kwantifiseer, naamlik onkruidinfestering, waterinhoud en stikstofinhoud

  • Die eerste fase behels die opname en versameling van veldspektra en blaarmonsters van mielieplante volgens ’n voorafbepaalde steekproefnemingstrategie in ’n eksperimentele mielieland waarop die hoeveelheid water en stikstof wat aan die plante toegedien word, gekontroleer word ten einde stikstof- en voginhoudkonsentrasies teen spektrale respons te modelleer
