Drone Imaging – Vegetation Index GNDVI / actual harvest
The GNDVI index is an index of plant greenness, i.e. their photosynthetic activity. GNDVI expresses the uptake of water and nitrogen in the crop stand. The trial at ZD Unčovice shows an interesting correlation between sugar beet yield in the individual variants of laser exposure and the control, and the values of the GNDVI vegetation index.
