The presentation will cover remote sensing for improved nitrogen and water management in sugar beets. Results from 2019 field trial will be discussed. The objectives were: 1) to analyze the effects of water and nitrogen fertilizer rates on sugar beet yield and quality, 2) to explore the potential of using aerial-based (UAVs) data for sugar beet nitrogen and water content monitoring, and 3) to access the feasibility of predicting sugar beet root yield and recoverable sugar using UAV-based sensors.
