Developing Precision Farming Maps using Crop and Soil Models

Abstract

At CSTARS, we are researching technologies to provide new farm management tools:

1-To develop greater spatial information on crop conditions from an aerial perspective.

2-To combine remote sensing tools and models to develop precision agriculture prescriptions.

3-To develop new products from future satellites that will provide economical and timely coverage, such as hyperspectral images, allow detection of soil and crop variables, such as soil carbonates, leaf chlorophyll content, and leaf water content.
