Performance of Vegetation Indices to Estimate Green Biomass Accumulation in Common Bean
AGRIENGINEERING(2023)
Abstract
Remote sensing technology applied to agricultural crops has emerged as an efficient tool to speed up the data acquisition process in decision-making. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Normalized Difference Red Edge (NDRE) in estimating biomass accumulation in common bean crops. The research was conducted at the Federal University of Lavras, where the ANFC 9 cultivar was used in an area of approximately seven hectares, in a second crop, in 2022. A total of 31 georeferenced points spaced at 50 m were chosen to evaluate height, width and green biomass, with collections on days 15, 27, 36, 58, 62 and 76 of the crop cycle. The images used in the study were obtained from the PlanetScope CubeSat satellite, with a spatial resolution of 3 m. The data obtained were subjected to a Pearson correlation (R) test and multiple linear regression analysis. The green biomass variable was significantly correlated with plant height and width. The NDVI performed better than the NDRE, with higher values observed at 62 Days After Sowing (DAS). The model that integrates the parameters of height, width and NDVI was the one that presented the best estimate for green biomass in the common bean crop. The M1 model showed the best performance to estimate green biomass during the initial stage of the crop, at 15, 27 and 36 DAS (R-2 = 0.93). These results suggest that remote sensing technology can be effectively applied to assess biomass accumulation in common bean crops and provide accurate data for decision-makers.
