Abstract

Developed a method of interpreting the results of remote monitoring in the form of values of vegetation (stress) indices in the expected yields has been developed. The studies were carried out in 2019 in the Kiev region at the production site of winter wheat crops in the separate division of the National Research and Training Institute of Ukraine “Agronomic Experimental Station”. Remote monitoring was performed on 06/25/2019 using the SlantRange 3p multispectral sensor complex mounted on a UAV. The flight altitude was 100 m. Both standard indices such as the NDVI and Chlorophyll index variations as well as the stresses of own production proposed by Slantrange were calculated: Stress, Vegetation fraction, Yield potential. Separately, we examined the output directly from the spectral channels, which were obtained from a wreath of images of SlantView’s proprietary software. The calculations were performed in MathCad software, where the image was considered in the form of a matrix. Harvest accounting was carried out using John Deere combines, which monitored every second with the establishment of positioning by satellite navigation system. False results were removed from the results of ground monitoring due to errors in the sensor equipment, incomplete use of the header width. It was found that a comparison of the yield of winter wheat and the conditions of these plants 2 months before the indicated procedure according to the results of spectral analysis using UAVs made it possible to establish a relationship between the quantitative characteristics of yield and divisions of stress indices. Of the indices studied, the best result of a linear approximation of the experimental dependence with a determination coefficient of 0.845 between yield and the numerical value of the spectral characteristic was shown by the Stress index developed by SlantRange. The best sensitivity was obtained using the Vegetation index. Fraction, also proposed by SlantRange, making it also promising for crop forecasting.
