Abstract

In strawberry production, a balanced and accurate irrigation schedule is essential, because of the high sensitivity of strawberry plants to water deficits and waterlogging. The optimal irrigation management strategy can, however, only be obtained by an accurate crop monitoring system. To replace the current visual inspection methods, which are subjective, time consuming and labour-intensive, the performance of the COmpact hyperSpectral Imaging system (COSI) mounted on an RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) was evaluated. The study, focusing on different irrigation treatments in strawberry cultivation, unraveled the potential of the COSI system, to monitor field variations, even at small scale. Growth inhibition and differences in plant physiology due to water deficit could be detected. As such, the COSI system has shown potential for steering irrigation management decisions in strawberry cultivation.
