Remote Sensing for Crop Water Stress Detection and Irrigation Management
This special issue belongs to the section “Remote Sensing in Agriculture and Vegetation“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to population growth and increasing food demands, irrigated agriculture will increasingly take place under water scarcity. Thus, management techniques that can produce ‘more crop per drop’ will assume increased importance. Remote sensing data can be used to assess crop water status in the field, to estimate evapotranspiration, to delineate homogeneous management zones, and ultimately characterize and analyze them to produce application or prescription maps for variable rate irrigation. Remote sensing data provides a wide range of use levels, from mapping crop variability to measuring and mapping plant water status that supports irrigation actions that would have positive influence on irrigation water productivity and/or harvest outcome.
