Monitoring Chemical-Induced Ripening of Castor (<i>Ricinus communis</i> L.) by UAS-Based Remote Sensing

Castor is a crop with an evergreen habit so artificially-induced ripening is an essential precondition for mechanical harvesting of new dwarf annual hybrids. Plants’ moisture imposes a determinant effect both on pre-harvest and post-harvest seed loss, so frequent monitoring of crop ripening is cruci...
