| Abstract:
The increasing affordability of precision agriculture technology presents unique possibilities for assessing tree health in a relatively low-input orchard crop such as tart cherry (Prunus cerasus L.). We evaluated UAV-mounted RGB and multispectral imagery and high-resolution ceptometry against traditional scouting methods for assessing tree nutrient status, and incidence of powdery mildew and spider mite damage. These combinations of data showed that higher intercepted light fraction was linked to higher pest and disease incidence. Emerging precision agriculture technologies may provide management opportunities for lower-value orchard crops such as tart cherry. | |
