Smartphone‐based monitoring identifies the importance of farm size and soil type for coffee tree productivity at a large geographic scale
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/180694
Abstract
Smartphone‐based monitoring has been increasingly applied to coffee crops for multiple tasks, such as predicting coffee tree productivity. However, its implementation remains limited to small‐scale use, typically at the individual plant level. At larger scales, such as the farm level, its application is largely unexplored. Moreover, it is unclear whether…
