VEGETATION INDICES FOR IRRIGATED CORN MONITORING

ABSTRACT Monitoring of large agricultural lands is often hampered by data collection logistics at field level. To solve such a problem, remote sensing techniques have been used to estimate vegetation indices, which can subsidize crop management decision-making. Therefore, this study aimed to select vegetation indices to detect variability in irrigated corn crops. Data were collected in São Desidério, Bahia State (Brazil), using an OLI sensor (Operational Land Imager) embedded to a Landsat-8 satellite platform. Five corn growing plots under central pivot irrigation were assessed. The followin...
