Evaluation of Crop Water Status and Vegetation Dynamics For Alternate Partial Root-Zone Drip Irrigation of Alfalfa: Observation With an UAV Thermal Infrared Imagery

Characterization of the spatiotemporal patterns of crop water status and vegetation dynamics are a prerequisite to overcome water scarcity and obtain precise agricultural water management. Based on high-resolution aerial thermal imagery, we estimated crop water stress index (CWSI), transpiration rat...
