Relationships between the Spatio-Temporal Variation in Reflectance Data from the Sentinel-2 Satellite and Potato (<i>Solanum Tuberosum</i> L.) Yield and Stem Density

Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) have been used to build models for predicting Potato (<i>Solanum tuberosum L.</i>) yields at regional scales, but evidence of extension of such models to local field scale for practical use in precision agriculture is lacking. In this study, multispectr...
