Abstract

Abstract. The methods of contact monitoring of conditions of plants are not adapted for large-scale industrial field studies. Satellite monitoring was primarily created to objectively evaluate the prospects for harvesting. Usage of UAVs has allowed to improve the accuracy of the results due to the high resolution of the sensor equipment. In most cases, the prediction is based on standard NDVI stress indexes. However, these results do not provide information on quantitative of yield indicators that farms need in order to optimize logistics and use harvesting equipment. The development of a methodology for interpreting the results of remote monitoring of vegetation/stress indices into future volumes of the crop was the goal of this work.

Researches were conducted in 2019 in the Kiev region on the production area of winter wheat crops in NULES "Agronomic Research Station". Wheat was harvested using a John Deere 9670STS combine. During the operation of the harvesting the data of John Deere 9670STS were recorded every second. In this case, more than 14,000 separate sections were obtained with a header width of 9 meters. Data were processed using Trimble (R) Farm Works (R) Office software and exported as Microsoft Excel. A specialized SlantRange 3p spectral system was used for remote monitoring, which was mounted on the DJI Matrice 600 Pro industrial platform. The radio frequency correction for changes in lighting was done by standard anti-aircraft sensor. The results were calculated and the stress index maps were constructed using the software of the SlantView system developer.

In usage obtained experimental data was developed the method of comparing the objective harvest data obtained by the harvester in terms of grain count and UAV stress index values. Was proposed to use a stress index, which makes it possible to predict the value of future harvest (the map of the stress indices was built 2 months before the harvest). It results can be used by farm to optimize the use of ground equipment.

Key words: SlantRange, stress index, UAV
