Using SPOT-7 for Nitrogen Fertilizer Management in Oil Palm by Mohammad Yadegari, Redmond R. Shamshiri, Abdul Rashid Mohamed Shariff, Siva K. Balasundram, Benjamin Mahns

“…Some conventional methods which are used to assess the amount of nutrient in oil palm are time-consuming, expensive, and involve frond destruction. Remote sensing as a non-destructive, affordable, and efficient method is widely used to detect the concentration of chlorophyll (Chl) from canopy plants using several vegetation indices (VIs) because there is an influential relation between the concentration of N in the leaves and canopy Chl content. …”
