Early detection model of waterlogging stress in grasses (Urochloa spp.) using hyperspectral imaging
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181185
Abstract
Grasslands cover approximately 40% of the Earth's land surface and almost 70% of the world's agricultural land (Reinermann et al., 2020). These ecosystems provide a variety of benefits, such as supporting biodiversity, grazing livestock, and food production.
Water stress in the soil causes a drastic decrease in the rate of leaf expansion and photosynthesis, inhibiting plant…
