The word phenotyping can nowadays invoke visions of a drone or phenocart moving swiftly
across research plots collecting high-resolution data sets on a wide array of traits. This has …

Nitrogen (N) is significantly related to crop photosynthetic capacity. Over-and-under-
application of N fertilizers not only limits crop productivity but also leads to negative …

Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1
to 10 nanometer or nm bandwidths) over a range of electromagnetic spectrum (eg, 400 …

Plant trait data have been used in various studies related to ecosystem functioning,
community ecology, and assessment of ecosystem services. Evidences are that plant …

Plant phenomics (PP) has been recognized as a bottleneck in studying the interactions of
genomics and environment on plants, limiting the progress of smart breeding and precise …

The ability to accurately and rapidly acquire leaf area index (LAI) is an indispensable
component of process-based ecological research facilitating the understanding of gas …

Novel hyperspectral indices, which are the first derivative normalized difference nitrogen
index (FD-NDNI) and the first derivative ratio nitrogen vegetation index (FD-SRNI), were …

Precision Agriculture is a cyclic optimization process where data have to be collected from
the field, analysed and evaluated and finally used for decision making for site-specific …

Accurate and timely crop yield estimation is critical for food security and sustainable
development. The rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offers a new …

In situ, non-destructive and real time mineral nutrient stress monitoring is an important
aspect of precision farming for rational use of fertilizers. Studies have demonstrated the …
