Studying phenological stages of cherry (Prunus avium L.) using field observations and satellite-derived vegetation indexes

ABSTRACT In the framework of a continuous search for technological innovations that allow fruit growers to practice a more competitive and sustainable fruit production, satellite-derived vegetation indexes could be used as tools to support the decision-making processes of technicians and territory p...
