Plant health mapping comparison
Flown by Adam Shanks, Agriculture & Natural Resources Educator, Purdue Extension - Clinton County
Three plant health maps were compared alongside RGB to determine if additional sensors would result in a complete map for better decision-making. While the NDVI appears to showcase the most detail, we still need to conduct more research and ground-truthing. We will continue exploring different plant health indices to see how each tool fits into management strategies.
