Abstract:
With the continuous escalation of global warming and consequent water scarcity, techniques to optimize water use of irrigation in agriculture are needed. Thus, deficit irrigation strategies (DI) can be used for a sustainable water usage. However, it is necessary to recursively monitor plant response under DI to ensure their productivity and prevent from severe water stress. The goal of this study is to assesscanopy and soil surface temperatures of olive trees under different irrigation strategies, through thermal infrared images obtained by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The temperatures from the different irrigation strategies were analysed with three approaches using the difference between canopy and air temperatures (Tc-Ta). The use of UAV-based thermal infrared imagery has proven to be extremely useful to the estimation of olive canopy and soil surface temperatures, which allow to discriminate different irrigation treatments.
