1. Retrieving Crops' Quantitative Biophysical Parameters Through a Newly Developed Multispectral Sensor for UAV Platforms

Today’s intensive agricultural production needs to increase its efficiency in order to keep its profitability in the current market of decreasing prices on one hand, and to reduce the environmental impact on the other. Crop growers are starting to adopt side dressing nitrogen fertilization as part of their fertilization programs, for which they need accurate information about biomass development and nitrogen condition in the crop.
