17 Precision agriculture approach Variable PGR

18 Precision Crop Protection The challenges of disease monitoring & management

19 Canopy sensing limitations -Speciation Dr Anne-Katrin Mahlein,

20 Characteristic spectral signatures Dr Anne-Katrin Mahlein,

21 Vegetation Index A definition A Vegetation Index (VI) is a spectral transformation of two or more bands designed to enhance the contribution of vegetation properties and allow reliable spatial and temporal inter-comparisons of terrestrial photosynthetic activity and canopy structural variations Huete, A.; Didan K., Miura T., Rodriquez E. P., Gao X. & Ferreria L. G. (2000). "Overview of the radiometric and biophysical performance of the MODIS vegetation indices". Remote Sensing of Environment. 83:

27 Image Timing AHDB Cereals & Oilseed

28 Additional factors affecting canopy sensing Different crops and row spacing Temporal & season changes Ambient light conditions Soil nutrition imbalances Weed patches Disease Water-logging

29 Disease Management Big data analytics

30 Summary Drones are just the platform, it is the sensor that is key. Effective results will only be achievable through correctly interpreted data. Disease monitoring is possible. Disease management will be possible.
