Recent advances in remote sensing and machine learning show potential for improving irrigation use efficiency. In this study, two independent methods to determine the dose processing tomatoes were calibrated, validated, tested an experiment. The first method used multispectral imagery acquired from unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) estimate FAO-56 crop coefficient, Kc. second artificial neural network (ANN) trained on eddy covariance measurements of latent heat flux meteorological variables a nearby station. An experiment was conducted, where farmer instructed through mobile application with updated recommendations. Evapotranspiration estimated by new set as UAV ANN treatments. best-practice irrigation, commonly regional farmers, control treatment (100%), guided expert soil sensors feedback. Derivatives at 50%, 75%, 125% tested. Yield, water efficiency (WUE), Brix level measured analyzed. Results that both methods, ANN, evapotranspiration derive near-perfect agreement total amount rate. Furthermore, there no significant differences between best practice experimental treatments yield (117 ton/ha), water-use (31.7 kg/m3), (4.5°Bx). These results demonstrate advanced techniques quantify requirements support management.

In order to further improve the ability of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote-sensing for quickly and accurately monitoring growth winter wheat under film mulching, this research used treatments ridge ridge–furrow full flat cropping mulching wheat. Based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) method, four agronomic parameters (leaf area index, aboveground biomass, plant height, leaf chlorophyll content) were calculate index (CGEI) wheat, 14 visible near-infrared spectral indices calculated using purification technology process image data obtained by multispectral UAV. Four machine learning algorithms, partial least squares, support vector machines, random forests, artificial neural network networks (ANN), build model with accuracy mapping spatial temporal distribution status. The results showed that CGEI constructed based FCE method could objectively comprehensively evaluate crop status, inversion ANN was higher than single parameters, coefficient determination 0.75, root mean square error 8.40, absolute value 6.53. Spectral eliminate interference background effects caused soil, effectively improving best effect achieved after purification. provided a theoretical reference UAV monitor status mulching.
