Abstract
ABSTRACT Vegetation indexes are important indicators of the health and yield of agricultural crops. Among the sensors used to evaluate vegetation indexes, proximal sensors can be used for real-time decision-making. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop a proximal sensor system based on phototransistors to acquire and store the following vegetation indexes: normalized difference vegetation index, simple ratio, wide dynamic range vegetation index, soil-adjusted vegetation index, and optimized soil-adjusted vegetation index. The sensor system was developed using an analog circuit to acquire reflectance data from red and near-infrared bands. The sensor system was calibrated according to the results of a spectroradiometer, using Zoysia japonica grass as the target. An algorithm that calculates and stores vegetation indexes in a file was developed. The Pearson correlation between the vegetation indexes obtained with the sensor system and the spectroradiometer was evaluated. The vegetation indexes presented a Pearson correlation higher than 0.92 to the estimated values by the spectroradiometer. Under the evaluation conditions, the proposed sensor system could be used to determine all vegetation indexes evaluated.
期刊介绍:
A Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental (Agriambi), periódico oficial da Asociación Latinoamericana y del Caribe de Ingeniería Agrícola (ALIA), é editada mensalmente, no formato eletrônico, pela Unidade Acadêmica de Engenharia Agrícola (UAEA) do Centro de Tecnologia e Recursos Naturais (CTRN) da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG), destinando-se à divulgação de artigos científicos originais e inéditos, elaborados em Português, Inglês ou Espanhol. Com o auxílio de pareceres de Consultores, os artigos são aceitos ou não pela Equipe Editorial para publicação na Revista. A Agriambi aceita, também, a submissão de contribuições na modalidade de revisão de literatura.
