Update on the irrigation trials / oil accumulation results
This third and final webinar in the Remote Sensing Project series will be hosted by the AOA. Presenters include: Dr James Brinkhoff (University of New England) and Alex Schultz (NSW Department of Primary Industries).
The presentation covers:
- Rationale for the trial and the technologies being assessed (imagery, sensors)
- Layout of trials – varieties, treatment locations, treatment specifications (water deficit..)
- How it was implemented
- Results 1 – high frequency sensor-based indicators of water stress
- Performance of on-farm sigfox networks
- Sensor-based indications of water stress (dendrometer, sap flow, soil moisture)
- Correlations with evapotranspiration-rainfall
- Results 2 – high resolution spatial remote sensing detection of water stress including airborne thermal and satellite multispectral
- Potential of remote sensing for timely identification of water stress in olive trees
- Potential of single capture high resolution thermal imagery for identifying water stress in olive trees
- Results 3 – update on yield and oil content
- Q & A
