Objectives

1.    Piloting on-farm solution for high spatial and temporal plot-level monitoring of crop growth, development, yield gap, and irrigation efficiency.
2.    Production of real-time advisory of irrigation water requirements including data on current conditions and 10 days weather conditions forecasting at farm level.

Outcomes

1.  Proprietary software for monitoring and forecasting crop growth, development, yield gap, and irrigation water requirements.
2.  Reports on crop growth and development status, yield gap, crop coefficient, and irrigation efficiency progress, and (a)biotic stresses.

Example of monitoring of variability of vegetation index at farm and plot levels as part of customized high spatial and temporal resolution for monitoring crop attributes and irrigation efficiency in stone fruits.
