The 2nd International Conference on: Novel and Sustainable Weed Management in Arid and Semi-Arid Agro-Ecosystems Site specific weed management: mapping the tempo-spatial development of purple nutsedge (Cyperusrotundus) Hanan Eizenberg Tal Naamat, Ran Lati, Tal Millerand Roy Efron Dept. of Weed Research, ARO, NeweYa’ar Research Center, Ramat Yishay 30095, Israel
Objective: • The main objective of the entire study is to develop a multiple approach for the detection of purple nutsedge spatial development • To achieve our objective, the state of art in detection technologies for both above and sub-surface spatial development were used
Our approach thus includes: • Spectral analysis of purple nutsedge obtained from satellites or airborne • Leaf shape analysis obtained from image data • photogrammetric (3D) analysis obtained from image data and laser (LIDAR) • Modeling spatial sprouting of the weed under different environmental conditions • Modeling the soil-subsurface development and its reflectance on purple nutsedge spatial sprouting
Topic Technology Modeling spatial growth for the above and sub-surface RGB high resolution camera; 0.5x0.5 mm pixel size. Lati et al. Minirhyzotronnon destructive video camera. Naamat et al. RGB high resolution camera; 0.5x0.5 pixel size. 3D LIDAR scenes and photogrammetric. Lati et al. RGB high resolution camera; 1x1mm pixel size. Efron et al. Close range remote sensing Aerial RGB high resolution camera; 50x50mm pixel size. Tal Miller et al. Far range remote sensing
Examples 1. Monitoring the sub-surface development of purple nutsedge using minirhyzotron video camera
