Assessing Grapevine Nutrient Status from Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Hyperspectral Imagery

This study aimed to identify the optimal sets of spectral bands for monitoring multiple grapevine nutrients in vineyards. We used spectral data spanning 400–2500 nm and leaf samples from 100 Concord grapevine canopies, lab-analyzed for six key nutrient values, to select the optimal bands for the nut...
