Predicting Table Beet Root Yield with Multispectral UAS Imagery by Robert Chancia, Jan van Aardt, Sarah Pethybridge, Daniel Cross, John Henderson

“…We applied the model to the 2019 full-field imagery and found an average yield of 41,000 kg/ha (~40,000 kg/ha average for upstate New York). This study demonstrates the potential for table beet yield models using a combination of radiometric and canopy structure data obtained at early growth stages. …”

Broadacre Crop Yield Estimation Using Imaging Spectroscopy from Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS): A Field-Based Case Study with Snap Bean by Amirhossein Hassanzadeh, Fei Zhang, Jan van Aardt, Sean P. Murphy, Sarah J. Pethybridge

“…Two harvest stage models, early and late harvest, were assessed at two different locations in upstate New York, USA. Six varieties of snap bean were quantified using two components of yield, pod weight and seed length. …”
