However, little is known on the suitability of distinct sensing indices for different crop management and distinct crop development phases. In this study, we assessed the potential of the UAV-based modeling to monitor field-scale crop growth under different water and nutrient supply considering distinct phenological phases of maize. UAV multispectral observations were deployed over two long-term experimental sites in three growing seasons. Calibration and validation of the random forest model took place at the Nutrient Balance Experimental Site (NBES) and the Water Nitrogen Crop Relation Site (WNCR), respectively. Leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll concentration, and aboveground dry matter were measured at the jointing, heading, and grain filling phases of maize in 2018–2020. Our results revealed that the suitability of sensing indicators differed at distinct maize phenological phases. Overall, red edge, red edge reflectance ratio, and chlorophyll index green are the most appropriate UAV indicators for estimating maize growth variables. The random forest model developed and calibrated at NBES with nutrient supply detected the signal of nitrogen × irrigation interactions at the other experimental site (WNCR) in different development phases and years very well, suggesting that random forest models developed by UAV images of same spatial and spectral attributes could be transferred across sites with the same cultivar while different irrigation and fertilizer management. We conclude that the selected number of UAV detected indicators processed with a random forest model could be used for robustly estimating environment × management (fertilizer and irrigation) interactions on maize growth variables."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.fcr.2022.108582"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/112529"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.doi","10.1016/j.fcr.2022.108582"],["dc.relation.issn","0378-4290"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Nutzpflanzenwissenschaften"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Agrarwissenschaften"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Pflanzenbau"],["dc.title","UAV-based indicators of crop growth are robust for distinct water and nutrient management but vary between crop development phases"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In this study, we tackled those gaps by employing UAV multispectral and Sentinel-2B data to estimate soil salinity and chemical properties over a large agricultural farm (400 ha) covered by different crops and harvest areas at the coastal saline-alkali land of the Yellow River Delta of China in 2019. Spatial information of soil salinity, organic matter, available/total nitrogen content, and pH at 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm layers were obtained via ground sampling (n = 195) and two-dimensional spatial interpolation, aiming to overlap the soil information with remote sensing information.
